WHAT WAS I THINKING?!?!?!

Have you ever had a really good idea then afterwards think wow, that was the dumbest thing I could have done!!!! However, in this case, it really was a good thing, but there were a few moments that tested my patience. We went on a short 3-day camping trip last week, so we decided to let the girls invite their friends (who happen to be sisters) along for the trip.

I LOVE to chop wood!!

If we went looking for the girls, the creek was usually where we'd find them.

My husband soon learned that when you are camping with 5 females, the best thing to do is hide in the tent with a good book. He occasionally wandered out for food and helped with the dishes, but other than that, he decided there were better places to be. Poor guy......NOT!

Besides being scared to death of the cow/calf pairs that would occasionally wander into our camp area, a double bed-wetting incident, and some arguing before the youngest and oldest of each family finally paired up, it was rather calm. We did pack in a hurry Tuesday though, as it started thundering and raining and it has rained non-stop since we got home. Guess we picked the perfect days.

Here are just a few pictures, some that I went here to make fancy and just a few shots of what we've been up to lately.

These pictures are a mixture of two camping trips. On one camping trip, we had a couple show up in the camp spot next to ours. I took this picture (and got their permission to post it)

because they were just the perfect portrait of peace and serenity. We visited with them and two total strangers have become very kind friends who we now keep in contact with. My girls kept asking if G & K were going to come back the second trip we took. Unfortunately, no matter how much we twitched our noses and waved our magic wands, they wouldn't appear in their camp spot, but we sure thought about them a lot.

Sorry I haven't posted in a long time. We have been camping a lot, and I'm still studying to take my National test and preparing the girls to start school. So, we've been busy but I still read all my favorite blogs regularly and keep up to date on all of you. Take care all. Enjoy whatever or wherever your summer involves. Hope you are all having fun.
