Happy Campers

This past weekend our little family of four had our first camping adventure. We decided to explore an entirely new lake by Cambridge, NE called Medicine Creek Reservoir. We invited our good friends Craig and Amy and their adorable boys Brantley (2.5) and Preston (9 mo).

Nathan and Craig decided to head out early on Friday with the majority of our junk and get a round of golf in before the chaos arrived. The rain delayed them a bit, however they still got 11 holes in before they had to meet us for dinner.

After work and school, Amy and I packed the coolers of food and the four littles into the car and headed west. Surprisingly, the road trip was fairly smooth up until the last half hour when the kids had reached their limit of sitting still and were getting hungry. Has anyone every told you that two two-year-olds equals "two" much talking.

Several months ago I had searched online and rented a cabin not having any idea what it would really be like when we arrived. I was absolutely amazed! The cabin was adorable and had the most beautiful view. It had two bedrooms, a bathroom, kitchen, small table, love seat, deck and patio with a fire pit. It was by far above and beyond my expectations.

Unfortunately, during the first night Brantley woke up with the stomach flu. I felt so bad for him as well as his parents but they were troopers and stuck it out through the weekend. I am sure someday we will tell the story and laugh at how we had to hose down the contaminated bedding, through away a pillow and air our laundry for all the world to see.

There was a small playground across the road and the kiddos thought that was just great.

Fishing is not necessarily my thing, exploring is OK, the beach is always great and I love the water, but it is the campfires and sunsets that really melt my butter.

  

  

 

The sunrise was impressive too. The fog over the water took my breath away. It is simply stunning when God reveals to you a glimpse of heaven on earth. No filter needed.
