Camping

Many, many years ago I remember going camping with my parents and siblings. The memories are not clear. I do have a small scar on one eyebrow from my brother throwing something at me because I was playing with his toy. He wasn't very old and I was probably annoying him. That was the extent of my camping prior to meeting Phil and his family.

One of the first times we went camping together we weren't married yet (but engaged) and we went camping with PV8 and shared the site with his parents. We tented it. Did not enjoy the tenting at all, but did enjoy how relaxed it made Phil and I.

Over the years our enjoyment of camping has continued. We now own a fifth-wheel trailer and are permanent campers at Peppermint Park Campground. We love showing up on a Friday night, slowing down and enjoying the fresh air.

This weekend was perfect camping weather. Cool nights and hot days...We spent hours by the pool with friends. I am burnt, even with spf50, but I had so much fun watching Ben jump in the pool time and time again. Phil enjoys being able to play horseshoes. I love that there is no rush to do anything, including heading home. We left today with no real afternoon plans. Drove home the long way on 47 and enjoyed the beautiful day.

We ended the afternoon with a spontaneous visit to Peg and Jay. Again, enjoying time by a pool. Ben had a blast playing with his Uncle.

Now, I'm hanging out waiting for Ben to be ready for bed, but again...no rush.

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend.

Peace to all who read this blog today and everyday.
