Camping!!

Ed and I both grew up camping with our families. This year we decided we wanted to take the girls camping and create some similar memories. We had a great time!!!! We went to Loft Mountain on Skyline Drive and went to the top of the mountain. We worried about the heat but had beautiful weather, although windy. The wind kept the bugs away and the heat down and the nights were cool.

A few months ago we reserved a campsite but as we arrived we realized our tent wasn't going to fit so we found a new spot that was perfect. We saw a lot of deer, even in our campsite. We enjoyed walking around, cooking on the fire, relaxing in the shade, making hobo packs, roasting marshmallows, making smores, popping popcorn on the fire, seeing stars as if you saw them the first time, laughing with bubbles, dancing in the dark and just spending time as a family.

Emily went to the Jr. Ranger program and went on a hike and learned about nature. We played Uno, bubbles, found animals in the clouds and shared a part of our childhood with our kids. What a great weekend!!! We are already planning our next trip.
