We went camping!
























































Historically, I'm not a camper. I love the outdoors and will hike, bike, swim and hang outdoors all day long but when it comes to bedtime I love in door plumbling and my own comfortable bed minus any bugs, snakes and possibly bears. So John was thrilled when our friends Jeanette and Mike asked us to go camping and I said yes. An added bonus was other friends, Robert, Kelly and family joined in. John is a camper. Jeanette and Mike have gone with their kids several times and had a blast....so have Robert and Kelly. I was the rookie but was up to the challenge! Until the night before when I started to have an anxiety attack. But I pressed on! In the end we had a great time and we got to go to the "Apple Picking Jubilee" which was fun and the kids are still talking about. It was an adventure for me and while I can't say I've converted to camper status I would go again based on how much fun the kids (and John!) had.

That looked like a ton of fun!!!! I've never been camping, I'm a little afraid to go (bears, bugs, no pottys..oh my!). But you made it sound pretty good, we'll have to try it one day! Brian used to be a big camper, so we'll see! I love the picture of the pigs, and the girls on trikes. Where was the apple picking Jubilee?? That looked like fun!

Tena-the pics are so cute. I know what you mean about camping! My family used to go every weekend in the summer when I was in high school-hated it, but might try it again someday b/c Reese might like it....would have to pull teeth to get Rob to go though!!!
