We can always make our adventures sound so "picture-perfect" but the fact is that there was a lot of trouble getting the tent up (they put the shorter poles in where the longer ones went etc..) then Timothy kept wandering off so they put him in his car seat, which had he an accident in because no one heard him say he needed to go potty:).Next they drove down the hill to the store to get some food supplies and new outfit for Timothy. So it went: Pavillions, CVS, Home Goods and Khols. They got back about 9 pm to have a nice candlelight dinner:) Then it was off to bed. It was soo cold that they slept with the blankets over their heads, wrapping themselves as well as they could, so no cold air could get in.
Although, it was a rough night they were sure the second night there would be better. They moved the tent to a different sight with electric hook-ups to plug in a heater, enjoyed a fun afternoon and had a yummy dinner. Just after it had gotten dark and the cold began to set in my mom announced that she was really sorry but there was no way she could sleep there because it was too cold! My mom said it was the best teamwork our family had shown in the history of camping. Everyone was in agreement-we wanted to go home!
It took them exactly half and hour to pull down the tent and put everything neatly back into the van. They turned up the heater in the van and headed home.;) It's a funny story to look back on and laugh at.;)
The camp site:)

Another shot of the camp site:)
Our little Evie is growing so fast! She is 4 months now and she is full of life. I am so amazed every time her little hands and legs wiggle around! Babies are such a special gift from the Lord!:D
A couple Sundays ago, Evie wore the same dress that Caytlin wore years ago to our Uncle Johnny's wedding.:D Caytlin was very pleased about that.;) She and I are enjoying dressing her up in our baby clothes.
Ready to go!
Daddy had taken the day off, so we had a nice slow trip up to the camp. We stopped at this country store, which had a really pretty view of the surrounding mountains and bought some apple cider. There was a lovely rest area right across from the store where the kids had fun playing and climbing trees.
Daniel and I were asked to do "crowd control" with the children's meeting.:) We had alot of fun playing with the kids after the lesson time was over. Here we were in the middle of "Duck, duck, goose" when Timmy decided he really liked his new friend and so he gave her a hug.:)
Timothy's birthday was that Saturday, and it happened that another one of the little boys was celebrating his birthday, that weekend too.:) So he was invited to have some cake which he really enjoyed, along with the other kids there.:)
Enjoying cake.:)
Camp cabins and scenery-the building on the left is the bathroom.

Sharing cars...;)
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.”
James 4:13-15
