Made it!! And Some Camping Pictures

It's over!! No longer are we a family of 7, but we are now a family of 4 again. Phew - I am tired!!!! But it went well. Actually, it went well for everyone but Lincoln. He had a tough time this last week, sharing his space, his toys, his sister, his mom, his everything. While he had some enjoyable moments with his cousins, I believe he is thankful for things to return to normal.

Before we head out for our next camping trip, I still have our last one to post about! I know, rough life, eh?! Getting behind in camping pictures blog posts.....;)

A few weeks ago, we were in for a beautiful and warm weekend, so off we went, not far from home, to enjoy some family time. Little did we know that everyone else wanted to spend time with us as well! Strangers even!

While our site was open, and trailers were all around us, the plus of our site was that we had lots of picnic tables to use!

Keziah felt the need to build a bear trap.... (and no, there are no bears here. Catching neighbours was probably a lot higher of a chance. Note, that is not Nathan's truck but from "next door"... :o)

But I do believe we didn't have the worst site at this park......this one takes the cake. Yes, that's a stoplight you see. A stoplight for a very busy road. Hmmmm. So peaceful. Not.

But this park definitely had some very beautiful spots to explore and experience, like some old ruins (a wedding was set up) and caves, where the kids looked for King Saul and David :o) :

 I always knew this boy was strong!!! But didn't know he could hold up such a heavy rock!)

Even though the weather was so warm, we didn't go swimming. Would you?!



Enjoying some time at our campsite.

The picture of roasting marshmellows is so typical: Keziah's is 3 feet above the fire as she doesn't want it burnt, and Lincoln's is in the dirt. Sigh. I love these kids so much and how they are so different from each other!

We came home from church on Sunday to a very empty campground. We were pretty much the only ones left that stayed till Monday!! It was *so* nice!!

Overall, while it was not quite what we were expecting, we are thankful to have had a weekend to spend time outdoors, taking in our awesome Creator's works with the colours He has on display.

With Thanksgiving around the corner, we would like to wish you all a blessed and thank-filled weekend. Just knowing what God has done for us gives us reason for thanks. All glory, thanks and honour to Him!
