Camping success!

Our venture into camping was great fun! Since it was in the mountains, there were hardly any bugs. The only bugs we had to deal with were gnats, and that was just during the day, and even then it wasn't too bad. In the evening, it was cool and clear. No flying pests! I think I am hooked on mountain camping!

It is also funny how camping brings out the inner pyro in people! My husband and children couldn't resist constantly poking and prodding the fire. It was rather comical!

Here are the pictures, if you are interested:

Camping at Big Meadow

We did a lot of hiking in the forest and walked .05% of the world famous Appalachian Trail. Hee hee! Will we go again? Absolutely! Next time we will bring more wine! :)


In other news, we bought a new kitchen dining set and a china hutch. Excuse the picture of the china hutch, as I haven't properly cleaned it yet, but you get the gist of it. Love you all!

Camping

We are going camping tomorrow with the girls! We haven't camped in two years so we are really looking forward to this experience. When I was little, we used to camp all the time. With all of the preparations we are going through right now, I can only imagine what Mom and Dad had to do to camp with four children!

This will be our first tent camping. Last time we camped, the weather looked like it was going to rain, so we opted for a cabin instead. The girls said it wasn't "real" camping and I think we lost a little respect that weekend. ;) The weather this weekend looks gorgeous and we are getting excited!

This is the place we will camp: Big Meadows

Right now, I am trying to plan our menus. Since I am eating low-carb, it makes planning a little more interesting. Luckily there is a lot of great ideas on the internet. How on earth am I going to resist the smores?

We will be sure to take the camera and hope to get some great pictures. Wish us luck!
