New Adventure

It's set. July 16, we leave for Beaver Lake Resort for 6 days of camping with all 3 kids and the in-laws. I'm looking forward to it - it looks like a nice place. I've never been to this campsite, I found it on-line, so hopefully it's as nice as it looks. Besides, I'm sooo ready for a week off and a little vacation down-time. Although camping is still a lot of work (you're still having to make beds, make breakfast/lunch/dinner and clean up) it's just fun. And getting the kids to help is a little easer (we use paper plates, so no worry about them breaking stuff!). And I've decided to keep a little journal this time. Actually, it's something I want to start doing for every vacation we take from now on. Now that I'm into the scrapbooking thing, I need to record what's going on to coincide with all the pictures.

We'll see how it goes - a month from now, when I'll be posting in between loads of campfire-scented laundry! Ahhh...the joys.

That sounds like so much fun. I have never been camping. Dan really wants to take me, but I'm not sure I can handle all the bugs. Ick.

It is fun. And there's really no more bugs than at home when you (or kids) leave doors and windows open. At least around here. Although where we're going, there are a few rattlesnakes...

Hey want two more kids and a husband to tag along with you? I'm not into the camping thing but they all are.

Miss Kelly said...

Sure! They can do a Men's Weekend.

That'll be fun for sure. So, that's when Adam's parents are going to be out here?

I think there is no way I'm going to get out of camping this summer. Maybe we should make some plans for August. If I can get your kids to clean up after me, I'll be all for it! Can Evan mix drinks?

Miss Kelly said...

Evan's now at the PRIME age to start learning to mix drinks.
Yeah, Adam's parents arrive July 15 and then his mom leaves a week later and his dad is staying an extra week.

You know, he really is ready. Normally, I'd say wiat until ten, but he is SO advanced. Now we have a project for the summer.
