A Weekend Camping

We went camping last weekend and had a really great time. It was a short trip but was fun and the weather couldn’t have been better. It was cold at night though and my frequent trips outside the camper to relieve myself were excruciating.

My daughters and their families met us and it was nice for everyone to spend time together. We missed having my son and his kids with us but there really wasn’t room enough on this trip anyway.

Unfortunately, we missed our exit on the way down and drove 30 miles out of the way on Friday. We got there a good bit later than we had planned and ended up eating sandwiches instead of steak that night. No problem though. We were just ready to eat and didn’t really care what it was at that time.

Three of the grandkids were there, Chase, Taylor and Hunter. Chase met friends right away and had a great time hanging out with them. Taylor spent most of her time in her aunt’s laps or playing with her bothers. Hunter, our 3 year old, had his electric 4 wheeler and spent most of the time riding it. He’s really very good at steering now and could weave in and out of the trees without hitting much most of the time. He also kept us entertained with his very energetic personality. I cannot remember seeing anyone as much of a carbon copy of their dad than he is. Always ready to laugh; quick with his temper; and completely engrossed in whatever he’s doing, he is a joy to watch.

We were on a hike Saturday and he tripped over a root and fell flat. We were all expecting a little whining or some crying, but instead he grabbed a hand full of dirt and threw it angrily at the root that had caused the mishap.

All in all it was a nice relaxing and entertaining weekend spent away from the house and work. I love camping.
