Camping...a family favorite!

With our summer being so incredibly full, not like that is unusual, but still is seemed to be so busy that squeezing in a camping trip almost didn't happen. We decided that the last weekend before Brooklyn was to start school would be the perfect time for us to getaway and just be together as a family without the interruptions of the phone, internet, or tv.

We headed up to our property in Waha and are finding that to now be our favorite camping spot. There, we are away from other campers, it is completely beautiful, and is the perfect place for us all to ride 4-wheelers. The kids especially enjoy the open meadows that are here and there because this is where we allow them to drive the 4-wheelers by themselves. Although Brittan is still a little too young, Brook can ride on the seat behind him and still have him think that he is all alone.:) Brooklyn on the other hand has free reign. She has mastered her own 4 wheeler and is becoming a wonderful, safe driver. It is so fun to watch her confidence build and it is something that she completely loves to do!

On Sunday, our friends John & Heidi came up to join us for lunch, 4-wheeling, and smore's around the campfire. It was so fun to share our 'camping' spot with them and we look forward to many camping trips there together in the years to come. Let us know if you like to camp or would like to join us sometime even for an afternoon of fun together. I don't know how much we will get up there this next summer, but when we do, you are invited.:)
