Camping

Almost a week went by again!  I'm guessing this will happen more frequently now that our heavier school schedule is approaching.

We had such a terrific summer!  I still hope to sneak in a few activities, but we did pretty well on our list.  Last weekend, friends kindly invited us to join them camping on land with private river/lake access.  It definitely got us thinking about owning water front property someday!  The place was amazing, and the best part was having it all to ourselves.  We spent most of our time in the water near the dock.  There was very little current, so we floated a lot.  We took our raft out, which was fun, but we decided next time we'll leave it home and just bring the paddles!  Using the paddles with smaller inflatables ended up being pretty popular.  I liked having the ability to turn myself around easily and quickly so I could face the dock where the kids were playing while still keeping a safe distance from getting splashed.  We got the camping experience with tents, outhouses and coolers; but they had great conveniences such as running water, a covered eating area, and fire pit.  I'll post lots of pics over the next couple days!
