Tenting

There's just nothing like it.  Give us a free fall weekend, and we prefer to be camping. 

With food thrown into coolers, camping stove packed and sleeping bags rolled and ready, we love to head to the mountains. 



There's always rock climbing, bug collecting and lake wading,  

along with some tent-side creativity. 

 The distraction-less family time can not be matched. 

 
When dusk hits, the bags of marshmallows are broken up, ready to get toasty over the fire.

And in the AM, we warm up some cocoa and do some lounging while a breakfast feast is prepared. 

With bellies full, we go in search of just the right spot.  Each time with find some hidden magical place to do some lingering.

We've got it down.  Learned how best to make memories. 

And each time is special. 

 

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.  ~John Muir
