marvelous. Oh yes we still had the bickering that goes with taking
four children ages 12-21 anywhere together, but even that was
better because it was in the mountains.
We have not been cabin camping for at least 3 years. Parker Dam State
Park is one of our favorite places to go. There we have the lake for
swimming and mountains and trails to hike. We even have been visited by raccoons and an occasional bear. So this was a long awaited trip.
The only down side to camping this year was we were unable to mesh everyone's schedule until the week before we started school. So we loaded up two vehicles and set off the 14th. Returning home the 21st, the
younger two start school tomorrow and the older two travel back to
college on Tuesday.
So who had a mountain of laundry to do and boxes of school supplies to
unpack and organize Saturday? This girl! Rachel was a great help with the laundry, she's my best 21 year ever! Tonight our house is filled with excitement and nervousness about what the new school year will bring.
I am ever so thankful we had this last week together... now onward
to a brave new year!
