Camping

Well, it seems so long ago now that the boys and I went on our camping trip. I thought I would share a little before I move on to the next thing.

As soon as we arrived, the boys went about setting up the tents and making a fire ring. They dug it out about a foot and began building our fire. We decided to make our camp down in the big pasture, along the edge of the woods. On the other side of the pasture is a big hill and in the evening, for about 5 minutes, the sun would shine right on it and caused it to glow a beautiful orange. In Idaho we called in alpenglow. We planned to stayed in the big tent and the dogs were supposed to stay in the little one. As night came, we decided to keep them in with us. :) It was so beautiful...like sleeping in a huge planetarium!

In the morning, the boys gathered kindling and more wood to revive the fire so we could have a cozy spot to sit for worship. Such a relaxing, peaceful time.

We did a lot of reading and exploring and generally had a nice time. I tried to post pictures of some of the treasures we found, but I am having difficulty with the text, picture, text, another picture thing. Any suggestions?
