Last minute camping trip!
Ky's Saturday game was cancelled, so her Thursday practice was cancelled, so we had THREE FREE DAYS!!! with NOTHING on the calendar! woohoo! (It was a little non-traditional to celebrate Easter camping - in fact, I'd already bought a
large ham as we were planning to invite a few single neighbors over. but twas not to be.)
Instead... We took off and arrived at camp in Grubb style at a late hour and set up our tent by the light of our car's headlamps.
Kaden woke up in the morning and said, I was just thinking I need to find my math book, but then I realized, WE'RE CAMPING!!!
Our beautiful campsite with the lake just steps away made for much fun.
Scrub jays abounded and were not shy about sitting down at the table with us or flying into our car if the door was open!
We did this fun 2.5 mile hike (one-way) to the dam at the end of the lake. Then I hitchhiked with a gal who came to the lookout point a mile (by road) back to camp and picked up the rest of the family in the car. We immediately at dinner (at 3:40) because everyone was starving after the hike!
The evening ended with stories & s'mores & running off all that sugar at the nearby playground - playing hide and seek in the dark wearing glow bracelets and necklaces. (Actually, the kids found it was more fun to take off your glow things and place them nearby to trick whoever was "it".)
