sitting around the campfire tonight one of my grandsons asked how long it has been since I last went camping…

    
must be twenty plus years, lol…

it was lovely to sit and watch the fire while hot dogs and smokies were being cooked…

they always smell so tasty cooked on the open fire… and the potato salad I made this afternoon went well with them too…

looking forward to lots of fun over the next three days…

now we are going for a walk to see if I can find some internet so I can post this…

skies…

been overcast and rainy for the whole day…

took a few minutes between showers to go out and get a few pictures… sadly my camera keeps making the morning glories blue rather than their actual purple so I didn’t include them…

  
fist thing I spotted was the bunny… getting bigger and so cute…

  
this canna has been flowering since July 17, twenty-one days… great addition to the pond…

  
first picture of the echinacea this year… happily they didn’t get pulled out in the spring as they look so much like a weed…

throughout the day, I packed my bag for camping with the kids…

  

still room for a few last minute things… which is good, because there always seem to be items to tuck in… George had a penchant for adding additional bags of stuff at the last second…

spent a half hour on the treadmill and was careful about what I ate during the day…

hoping for clear skies tomorrow and over the weekend:-)…

been waiting for a nice evening to go camping… 

on the deck…

tonight is the night… might not see any stars as it is still hazy, but you never know…

only concern is the mosquitoes… I do have a great comforter that can go over my head if necessary…

fun little adventure… I’ve been needing something special and am looking forward to going to sleep to the sound of the waterfall…

although there is a concert in the Park at the Lyric so I might be going to sleep to the sounds of Streetheart, lol…

  

we shall see…

was thinking back to our many camping experiences… we used heavy canvas tents, light nylon tents, a pop up trailer, and sometimes hotels… great fun over the years… enjoyed Birds Hill, Hecla, Falcon Lake, Rushing River and Sioux Narrows…

looking forward to spending a few days camping with the kids this summer… 

but I do plan to bring my air bed:-)…

we weren’t able to find a camping spot for the weekend as we started to look too late… so glamping it is:-)…

we booked a night at the Fairfield Marriott… we arrived, checked into our room and went to The Keg for dinner…

20140803-213640-77800432.jpgback at the hotel we put on our swimsuits and had some fun at the pool… the slide was fairly high and fast… one section of the pool was a circle with really strong current…

20140803-214558-78358529.jpgboys had some fun with a puzzle and we are now curled up in our jammies, trying to decide which movie to watch…
