Well this past weekend we went camping again. We are blessed to enjoy nature so much. We took a girl named China with us, it was her first time camping and her first time to see cows and open country, first time fishing, and she saw her first deer too. It felt so great to be able to help her see and experience these things. Also it allowed us to see just how blessed we are as a family to have sooo many of these experiences under our belt and to be able to continue to share the beauty that God has created with our children.
We met up at the campsite with some friends from church the Morin's. It was such a great little spot. Our camp area was really unique. We were right next to an outlet of water and even though this weekend was "cold" the kids still were dying to get in...and some did!!! The weather was so perfect when we got there, the moon rose and looked as big as the sun, the stars were brighter than I've seen them in a long time. The girls shared their own tent and had a blast giggling and screaming when the wind tried blowing their tent away with them in it!!! I wish we had taken the video camera. We were without a campfire because of a fire ban and that was so weird for me - I think that is one of my favorite things about camping, putting the kids in their tent, hearing them giggle and sitting near the fire till it dies out.
Well blessings are everywhere, sometimes we just need to open our eyes and look for them.
