arriving at our campsite - Helen packs "light" for our 2 night stay - haha!


getting the campfire going

our tents!

sunset at the camp

Jilly telling ghost stories

forgot to pack matches --- about the only thing that I forgot for the entire trip!  how can I forget the matches?!?!  Thankfully the gas station nearby sold them :)

more ghost stories - her favorite part of camping and she came up with the idea on her own

breakfast!!!


some deer near our campsite - thankfully no bears!








Saturday, we hiked 8 miles total

lunch in the forrest

I thought this tree looked like a gargoyle



 
"Mom, take my picture!"


Jilly strikes a pose with the other jump :) - silly Jilly



"Mom, take my picture again"

...."and again"....

what are the odds?  found a quarter in the middle of the forrest

....and "again"...



fun with the camera timer



and the end of our hike, we found this beautiful lake




this is the lake that is near our campsite - seen near the top of our hike


catching dinner?

'smores time!





.... "my picture again"






family picture inside our tent


Jayden - last time we went camping
