I have a strict once-per-year camping policy but my sissy pitched me an overnight camping trip and made it sound irresistible.
So I took the bait. We had a marvelous time! And I was even able to sit around and overeat. That's a win.
We began our adventure by shuttling ourselves off to Lost Lake. As always, Kitty dressed appropriately for a night in the dirt.
What a beautiful area it was! The lake was glacially cold but stunning to look at. The kids didn't seem to mind that their appendages turned to icicles almost immediately, and swam around like crazy people. They even found a critter whom Kitty named Slicky.
It was wonderful to relax around the fire and enjoy my sissy and her family. We had zero cell phone reception and it was divine.
The kids spent a good chunk of time in the hammock. We had a few spills but it didn't deter them. Kitty whacked her cheek on a giant log at dinnertime after tumbling from the hammock. Good thing kids are made of rubber.
We tried our hand at making Elephant Soap. Too bad someone brought all the ingredients but failed to write down the ratios. What? I thought I would remember the recipe. As it turned out...I didn't.
We talked and laughed. The kids disagreed and made up. We swam and ate Oreos. We poked at the fire. We made precious memories.
It was perfect.
