Camping Girl?

I spent time outdoors this weekend.
And liked it.

Mandy read by the fire.

Marshmallows, chocolate and graham crackers were our happy companions-
and a few friends, too.

Jeff is the master s'mores maker.
He made me two and they were incredible.

The girls worked on patches for Girl Scouts.

Everything is fun when you do it with friends!

The cabin was cozy with bunk beds and indoor plumbing.:)

I love photographing children.
It's my favorite.:)

Short and sweet.

So glad I brought my camera.

The weather was chilly, but the sun was warm.
No bugs or poison ivy.
I might start to like this!

We did it!

The first hill was steep.
I told the girls to drag me if I couldn't make it.

Jeff taught the girls how to geocache.
They thought it was quite an adventure.
It made me feel good.

  3. FUN! I love hiking with no bugs and no poison ivy. A cabin with indoor plumbing is my idea of roughing it! The s'mores look wonderful.

  4. Hi Lori
    Your pictures are beautiful. They capture the fun perfectly. You are a wonderful photographer. Glad you enjoyed the weekend too. Glad there were no bugs or snakes and that you had bunks and indoor plumbing! Oh goodness I would be a mess without those luxuries!
    Hope you are enjoying your snow.

  10. I'll confess that I'm not much of the outdoors type either, but this sounds like a perfect camping trip. And those do look like picture perfect s'mores.

    My oldest daughter is a Junior Girl Scout, but they haven't done a camping trip yet. I'm a brand new leader of my middle daughter's Daisy troop, so I expect to have many adventures like this in the coming years.
