The Camping Trip

Last weekend, Deric and I went with the youth group on their annual camping trip. We went to a campground about an hour away and stayed from Friday night to Sunday morning.

We had literally perfect weather for camping. Sunny all weekend, highs in the 60s and lows in the 30s. Perfect for sweatshirts and sitting around the campfire. We spent the weekend grilling hot dogs, playing with the fire, hiking and exploring the campground, throwing things in the fire, playing football (the boys) and knitting (the girls), poking sticks into the fire, playing Mafia, telling ghost stories, and sticking body parts in the fire. The campfire is always the main attraction.

It was a great weekend to kick off fall. I'm ready for another camping trip with Deric. We've always wanted to go camping just the two of us but haven't gotten around to it yet. Hopefully sometime this season we'll go!
