We do this every year. It's the best vacation, we all think. We go South in the winter, we take a couple of days here and there to experience exciting places, but nothing beats our camping days. Rest happens here, bonding happens here, growth happens here, and drawing close to God happens here. Gratitude #412-444
a beautiful view
girls in abundance
Papa watching the sunset
swimming any time of day
searching for treasures 
family visits
the shirt says it all, doesn't it?
last year for the baby seat :(
little ones loving "wash-mellows"!
sisters and friends 
perfect roasting!
not so perfect roasting
quiet moments around the campfire 
the place we love to be 
gaining new skills 
meeting new friends, whose families have also found the peace of this place 
playing washers... built for us by a friend 
beating my husband!
sister-love 
plenty of the juicy stuff 
snail friends 
collecting them everyday (gifts for Emily from her new little friend) 
happiness is camping with my family 
reading the Word in "relaxed mode" 
telling stories 
staying up late enough to see the stars 
evenings at the lake
skipping rocks
big girl strolling with her journal 
middle one finding more treasures 
deep in thought 
documenting events and feelings 
learning to ride a two-wheeler! (they all learned while camping, so far)
Daddy hands to help
big sister patience
dipping toes and loving Creation This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24
