Camping Highlights
Sunday, September 2, 2007
We just got back from a wonderful (cheap!) weekend camping at Lake Auburn! I love the way I breathe when I'm hugging nature for an extended period of time. . . deep, healing, restorative breaths.
I made a fun little video. But, before you watch, here are some of the highlights:
* We got the best campsite: private, wooded, near the bathrooms and playground -- but not too close!
* Cool weather at night and in the morning. I love camping in sweatshirts and long sleeves!
* Shelling peanuts and eating them for a snack.
* The kids from other campsites joined together to sing Jennifer "Happy Birthday". (She turned 9 on Saturday). Ryker gave her a pop tart with a twig stuck through it for a candle.
*We went on a hike and saw a huge hawk (falcon? osprey?) It captured a mouse and ate it within 15 feet of where we were standing!
*The kabobs and ears of corn that Rich grilled over the fire were the best I've had all summer!
