Our Camping Trip

My whole family went for a camping trip, (Up in Jemez, New Mexico,) with other families from our homeschooling group. We had a great time as we got to spend time together. We played games ranging from Kickball to Ultimate Frisbee to Whiffleball. Friday night we all gathered around the campfire and sang worship songs.


This renegade chipmunk became a nuisance as he would bravely sneak up to the picnic table and steal the little ones food. One time Keturah left her plate of food and ran to Dad and I. We both watched as the chipmunk climb up the picnic table and grab a chip much to Keturah's horror and chagrin.

Josiah was a REALLY good hiker and ran almost the whole way back up the trail.

Taking down camp. It looks like I'm getting lazy..... :(

Half of the campers.
Two small things I learned to be thankful for that I often take for granted is: CD players and dry shoes and socks. (Mine would get wet easily! :D) Roughing it makes you appreciate the small things!
