Our Camping Trip

turned out beautiful!! It went great and everyone had lots of fun. We were told that it would prolly shower some each day and that Monday would be really rainy. We planned on coming home Sunday afternoon anyway because we knew that we needed to water the grass that we planted last week. And we thought it a good idea to take th tent down in sunshine than rain so that we didn't have to worry about setting it up again to dry it out. So, it was a short trip, but lots of fun. Only about 45 minutes from here, it's up in the foot hills of Mt. Baker and it was beautiful. There was one set of flushing toilets that work on a generator and septic system ie: no power. There was also running water for the toilets and faucets from a generator powered well. We were one of three groups that camped there this weekend, so it was pretty quiet. Very nice, as I expected for it to be really busy! There is a horse camp just up the road from this camp, so we saw people riding by on their horses all day long. That made me homesick for the horses that I used to have, and made me want some even more. Ahhhh, I can picture it now, hubby and I riding horses out in the back of our property, through the huge fir and Cedar trees and among the ferns. So pretty :) Our property looks a lot like the property that the camp ground is on actually. So, anyways, the kids had lots of fun playing with the kids from the other family that we were camping with. And we got lots of time with the Mom and Dad of that family which was really nice. We like getting to spend time with them. I brought bubbles, and our base ball stuff and some fun stuff from the $ store (glow sticks, hula hoops, and some ping pong paddles, and a few beach balls for the babies)

I can't wait to get my Konos order, it didn't come while we were gone, so hopefully tomorrow :)
