Working with two different spring breaks made last week fun-filled after hours for me, which included a camping trip! We kept it close to home which totally worked out well for us since we were blessed by so many visitors! We celebrated our ten year anniversary up there, surrounded by friends and family--only this time we were around a campfire! Believe it or not, but I was having so much fun, that I didn't take many pictures of all the people who came up and all the things that we did. My personal favorite a bike ride around the lake--NOT!!! It was quite the ride for my beginner legs, but we did tit anyways! The kids are growing up--they went skunk hunting, and duck feeding, and tossed around the football--and took their older brother and his little sister on a ride around the lake that lasted for hours. . .Nessa was in and out of the RV with no problem--no brace to wear in the nights as she used to have to do last summer. . .kids riding their bikes around several sites, not just ours. How they are growing up right before my eyes and I miss it sometimes--I have to slow down and really see them, like I am able to do when we are out and away. . .grateful we made the time for this.
The biggest blessing, was having my parents stop by with my papa. he's eighty-seven and doesn't get around as well as he used to, but the kids just loved having him there! I enjoyed listening to him tell Ernie stories of his truck driving days and watching him have to trust Ernie when it came to getting him out of the RV. He was there for hours on Good Friday and I think it is a memory that will always stick with me. My Papa camping. Makes me smile.
The full moon was gorgeous and Little took better pictures than I could even attempt, so I think I will remember that as well. It used to be we would camp in tents when he was six-year-old. Now at eighteen, he is staring graduation right in the eyes and making decisions that will determine his life's path--school, work, both? Hanging out together without the daily life demands, out in God's beautiful creation was a wonderful way to spend a couple days!
