i must admit, camping always looks so cozy – and we camped lots {in a camper that is} when i was growing up.. but i am SO NOT into it. when it comes to sleeping i prefer my home and bed~ no creepy creatures prowling around. the last time i camped it was w/ kate for a girl scout thing of hers.. there was a SKUNK outside our tent! i was dying to go the bathroom but couldn’t!! we were trapped in our tent by a skunk!! so not a fun time. but i like looking at pictures at others camping adventures. hee hee.

love the b&w of you~ so pretty!

hope you’re feeling good w/ baby.. doing good w/ life in general, etc.

I have some funny pictures I’ll have to dig out too. I have great one of us covered in mud up to our calves from the hike my dad made us take, promising “it would get better.” You are smiling, but I have horrible, grumpy face. I have tons of marvelous memories of you camping with us. I’m sure that’s why it was fun for me, since I didn’t think camping was all that exciting. Now, of course I hope to relive it all with my own kids.

Of course! But bring rain ponchos and parkas just in case we run into a bad weekend again!

Yes, I have so many great memories of Bethany Cabins. Your dad tried so hard to help me learn to water ski… I never did learn, but I sure did have fun trying! Let’s get together soon!

Ha! I still get the giggles when I think about our Grande Entrance into Ely. Good Times!

I have so many wonderful memories of camping with the Heep family. I have a few pictures I want to show you from Lake Jeanette one year. I think that is where I found that I love camping. It helps to start out young. I also loved the fact that it was my once a year chance to eat Lucky Charms!!

Miss you!

Weird how a cold, rainy weekend can end up being so much fun. Really enjoyed all the cards and dice games in the nice warm tent as the wind howled outside. The campfire chats always seemed to erupt in laughter as well. All around great memories and strong bonding time!

What a great tradition! I think you’ll be glad if you go at a warmer time next year though, but it sure must be nice not dealing with any mosquitos!!!

Looks like some good eating. Can we come next year?

Missy! It looks wonderful, even in the cold!!! Your pictures turned out great. It was fun to check in with you throughout the weekend to hear updates on how things were going–we sure missed making the memories with you all. I’m excited for next year. Looking forward to seeing you next weekend! Love and blessings to you and Mark and the baby!!

Awesome pics, babe! GREAT job! It was an awesome (although cold) camping trip.

I REALLY LOVE the pic of you in the tent. STUNNING! Still can’t believe I’m the one that gets to wake up to YOU every day! ; )

Hi Melissa~ looks like you all have a chilly but fun weekend camping! The ones with bad weather are usually the good ones you remember. I am happy you all made it home safe!Can’t wait to hear all about your trip!

nice photos, babe. my favorite times were the games inside the warm tent with the lantern lit—cozy and fun. i did get a little cranky at times from a sleepless night with the wind blowing fiercely, whipping the sides of my tent! (i prayed alot.) but you all loved me anyway. when all was said and done, it was very memorable!

Missy,
Great pictures! Although it was cold a chilly weekend, I’m sure there are many warm memories. The food looked delicious.

Can’t help but think of the many fun Bethany cabin memories. It would be fun to get together like that again. Blessings to you.

I thought of you out there in the cold this weekend. I’m sorry it wasn’t better weather, but it looks like you made the most of it and had a great weekend. The food looks amazing! Nothing like campfire food. Remember our camping excursions to Lake Jeanette? I ahve lot of fun memories of those times. My parents like to tell our kids the story of how we stuck our top halves outside the camper and waved at people the whole way into Ely like we were celebrities!
