Summer Camping fun!


Ok, so it's been a while since I've blogged.....but with the end of the school year, and all the stuff to do to get ready for summer, I haven't had much free time. We did finally get to go camping this past week and boy did we have loads of fun! We always go camping with Mimi and Pappy, and whoever else in the family that can go. We headed up to Greenbrier Island campground last Thursday for a week long adventure. Our trip also coincided with Mason's 9th birthday! I can't believe he's nine! He's growing so fast, and this is his last year before double-digits!!!! He had a special day on Saturday with friends and family. We had a great dinner, all picked out by Mason. His menu consisted of grilled salmon, shrimp, and bbq ribs, with parsley potatoes, corn on the cob, and a big tossed salad. To finish the meal, we enjoyed ice cream with Aunt Sarah's chocolate cake with peanut butter cream frosting, also his request. Man, what a meal! Everything was great and we all had so much fun together! It's so nice to just get away and do a bunch of nothin' when you can.....I got some reading done, some sweet walks with the boys, lots of playin' and fishin' too! These are the times I pray my kids remember the most.....they may not be fancy, but our times together are so sweet because we love each other so much. We are greatly blessed! Just as it is written in Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven-" We definitely enjoyed our time relaxing, playing, and in fellowship. Our prayer is that wherever we are, and whatever we're doing, that God would be glorified and honored in it all!
