Camping

Wednesdays are usually a very busy day for us.  This week, however, due to the fact that we will have a one day assembly this weekend, our Wednesday night meeting was cancelled.  Since neither Adam nor I had any work yesterday, we decided to take advantage of the situation and go camping!

We chose to go to a beautiful park not too far from us.  After getting all packed up, we decided it would be a good idea to check the weather.  Well,  to our surprise, there was going to be a near-record low of around 36' at night.  Instead of cancelling the trip, we rented a small cabin in the park.  We went to the visitors' center, hiked, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, skipped rocks in the lake, had a picnic lunch, etc.  The kids got dirty from head to toe and all of us smelled like campfire smoke!  What a treat!

Camping always makes me slow down for just a few days and really appreciate the simple things in life.

We got a good phone call this afternoon:  the insurance has now approved Kevin's speech therapy!  We will start on Monday and go every Monday and Thursday from 9:00 to 9:30!  After months of trying to get all this figured out, we will finally be able to start!!
