Camping

We took off for a nice 3-day long camping trip after finishing a siding job a few days early. We had no idea where we were going to camp, we just knew we wanted to try something new. We headed for White Sulphur Springs, and turned onto the highway leading to Monarch and Neihart. We passed through a few different campgrounds before settling on King's Hill. We were the only people there Thursday night. It was so peaceful and quiet. Almost a little too quiet! During the night we could hear an elk bugle from a long ways away. Friday brought a few more campers but no one camped near us so it was still pretty nice. We spent the weekend doing not much of anything, which was perfect. Alot of reading and playing games. We did enjoy some great meals (barbecued chicken, shish-ka-bobs, breakfast burritos) Dutch Oven cooking (killer cheesy potatoes, peach cobbler). We are hoping to get one more trip in this year. We will see what happens!

Placid Lake Reunion

This past weekend, Tim's family held a family reunion at Placid Lake. Tim's brother Ted from 29 Palms, California was staying with us for a week and we thought this would be a great weekend to get together since it has been a long time since Ted had seen some of his cousins. We try to get together every summer and pick a different place to camp. It was a fun packed weekend with water skiing, hiking, eating and sharing many, many laughs! Sarah, Jimmy and the boys came over from Missoula and spent the day with us as well.
