The Francis Family: Camping trip #4

We camped a lot this summer; 4 times. That's a lot for us. Before this year, we've only camped once; with my family. 6 years of marriage and we had only gone camping once! That all ended this year. When our ward had a camp-out in July we bought and tent and our camping less marriage was history.

Tony, my brother-in-law finally had a weekend off. (He is a very busy guy in the summer.) So we arranged to spend the weekend in Pine View, just the 5 of us, for some R&R. We were fortunate enough to get a prime camping spot right next to the water. We were all supposed to get there mid-morning, but Natalie's cat vanished in their new home so they spent a better part of the day searching inside and out for it. Fortunately after many hours, they found him hiding in the closet, above the water heater. Then they were finally able to join us.

This was such a great camping trip. Probably my favorite this year... So far. Can we go again?

Lots of good food, playing in the water and in the sand, roasting of marshmallows, beautiful stormy night, laughing in the tent, and more raspberry shakes. Couldn't ask for more. Oh, and I get to just sit (and chase Westin around) while Skyler cooks, he won't let me help! He says "it's fun". Ok. I'm fine with that!
