With me working weekends, taking a family camping trip was something that didn't look like it was going to happen this year. Earlier this summer, we sold our old tent trailer, and I figured that going camping (something I LOVE beyond reason) would have to be missed this season.
I didn't take into account my husband's super bargain-hunting skills, though, and he found us an amazing deal on the exact piece of camping equipment we were hoping for. We had planned to purchase a trailer next year, to take out to Ontario and visit all the family there, but this one was just waiting for us. Naturally, we had to take it out, just for an overnight. In a short time, we packed in a bit of hiking, a decent campfire complete with s'mores, and a chilly early morning by the river. One last taste of summer for us all - bliss!
Looks like fun :-) I'm getting ready to settle in for Fall now ;) Now that I've finished my cardi I need to finish up some gifts so I can get back to knitting for me. It's amazing how much I want to knit when I'm not actually giving the end product away!

YES for finding great bargains and oh my, what a beautiful spot to camp, even if it was just for over night, gorgeous!

What a beautiful place! Looks like a wonderful time.
And I love your log cabin washcloths. I've been on washcloth making binge lately so thanks for sharing this pattern.
Blessings,

Way to sneak a little extra time away! I had an epiphany this weekend: That a key to staying close with your kids is to take them camping. There's just something about being away from all distractions that brings you closer and to a new level.
