First Camping, Then the Sickies

This post has been begun and begun and begun again...but never finished. Could it be that we took over 100 photos camping and so I have to wade through them (I am assuming you don't really want to see all 100)? Could it be that with preparing for Enrichment and camping the rest of my life needed catching up? Could it be that I have been sick this week, necessitating MORE catching up? If you answered "Yes" to all of the above....you're a winner!





We went camping to MW last Friday. It was so fun. It was quite humid and we had some sprinkles, but no really heavy rain. It was cloudy and windy, but not too hot. The only problem with the wind is that it was too windy to rent a canoe or paddle boats, which is a camping tradition in our family.





MW has a lots of cliffs and people go there to rapell and climb. Friday afternoon, we hiked and we were all alone, but Saturday we did the same hike by the cliffs and it was crawling with climbers. Both things were really cool. The kids found some caves that only people their size could get into and they thought that that was the coolest thing on earth.




We got back late Friday night from hiking and then the fire had a more difficult time than usual getting started...I think due to the humidity and sprinkles...so we ate dinner really late. By then, the kids had fallen asleep. K didn't eat anything. C ate, but he was starting to feel sick, so he didn't eat a lot. Little Dan was very good and he seemed to be having fun.





Sleeping was okay. Little Dan woke up a lot, but it could have been worse. Everyone else slept great. K is a sleep mover and was in a different place in the tent each time I woke with Little Dan. We also took our dog with us. She had a great time. She is a great dog!



C and I were definitely sick by the time we got home. We stayed home from church and C stayed home on Monday from school. We moaned together all day long. We were both better by Tuesday. Thank goodness. We both felt awful.

Your pictures turned out so well! The one of K asleep is classic. We need to go out to MW again. I forgot how pretty it is.

Glad you are feeling better.

Wow! Your pictures are great! That's too bad that you got sick, but it looks like you had a good time anyway! :)

I love camping! Looks like you had a great time. It's still not warm enough to camp here, but when it is we'll be doing it!

Glad you are feeling better. I've had a sickie since Saturday. Apparently it's running its course through our family.
