I wonder where we are supposed to turn to go to our campsite...hmmm. We went by this sign that reads "Dorabella" about three times before we realized we had to look on the ground to actually see it. I didn't know we were going to play "Where's Waldo" on our weekend camping trip. Eureka! We found it and got to our campsite with time to set up before Brian and Kylen arrived in the other car...Ashlyn and Julianne put up the tent like pros. We didn't notice the poles were upside down until Brian arrived later that afternoon and walked around the tent turning them around. I am not sure if the tent would have collapsed. Good thing he came to the rescue.
It was wonderful to go camping again with John and Julie, and Bill, Heather, & Will. I am thankful for such an amazing family!
My favorite camping things: to sit by the fire and chat and take in the beauty of the trees and by simply being together without the rush of life around us. Another highlight of our time was hiking to the lake and watching Kylen and Will play in the water and waiting for Ashlyn to fall in the water as she was trying to retrieve a water bottle without getting wet, even though it had floated out onto the lake.

Julianne's face says it all.
Will gets the prize for the dirtiest!
What a special memories!
