Camping with the Heaters

We had a fabulous weekend camping at the cabin on the Tahuya River with Ben, Maggie & Henry. When we were planning the trip Maggie and I decided that we should try to ride in one car. We all doubted that it could happen, but guess what, we all got in and even though it was cozy, it was a great ride!

After a short adventure of looking for night crawlers/worms, we made it to the cabin. After unpacking and eating lunch, Ben, Neil, Avery and Henry took off on an adventure to scope out fishing holes.

After everyone got back, we mixed up some yummy drinks and relaxed with the kids. Avery and Henry were having such a great time dancing that we all took turns dancing with them.

Super Maggie double dancing with the kids.



FINALLY, dinner was ready. We did are far share of consuming most everything insight the entire weekend. Everything was SO good! Maggie made some to-die-for cookies. I can't wait to make them myself.

Our famous Frogmore stew . . . . really it's just a shrimp boil.


Once we got the kids to bed we had a few more drinks and played games. Then we started to figure out what where we were all going to sleep. We pulled out the roll away beds and noticed that we had a very stinky dead mouse on one of the roll aways. YUCK, that is a smell that I do not want to smell every again in my life! Needless to say we immediately got rid of the mouse and that roll away spent the rest of the weekend outside. I slept on the couch, Neil slept on the clean roll-away, Ben on the futon and Maggie upstairs with the kids.




After we got up Saturday morning, the kids went outside to play and all of the sudden I hear Avery screaming that Henry has something to show us . . . .

While Avery was on the swing Ben showed me the recent bear tracks . . . .

It rained the day before . . .these are fresh!


For our big trek of the day, we all headed down the river to fish.
