We had a great time camping at Natural Falls last week! It was a much-needed break from reality.
We are definitely a "camping" type family. Well, with the exception of poor Sarah. But she tolerates it well...
The girls picked a site right by the park, which was super nice.
They didn't have the net up yet, but that didn't stop our crew from volleying around a little.
Dominoes was the choice game of this trip.
We found out that Andrew is quite the hiker. His key phrase of the week was, "I GOT IT!" He did NOT want my help. 😂

We had a great time around the fire. Abby is definitely a champion marshmallow roaster.
Breakfast was interesting. Michael cooked over the camp grill while Abby handled the items over the open fire, Sydnee had the camp stove, and Sherrod put things together for everyone. Where was Sarah, one might ask? Well, um, ahem, she spent her mornings "getting ready for the day." And don't think for one second that everyone didn't give her a hard time about it. 😂 She's so good-natured...😍
Remember the observation deck? Well, Sarah refused to stand on it when everyone else was on it (for those who don't know she has a fierce fear of heights...). Later, she went back to it, alone, to try to get a great picture of the falls. I stood just off to the side of it and snapped this shot, but as soon as I ventured out onto the deck, she was done and off she came! You notice, she wouldn't go all the way out, right? 😜
And, just for fun, who can resist this ornery face? This little boy...oh, my heart. I love to listen to him pray! The other night he was praying, "...and Cannon not get better, even we take him to doctor, but he died and I miss him..." Yep, I'm pretty much wrapped around his little finger!
And this man...wow. I am incredibly blessed. Especially as my girls get older, my hope, prayer, and desire for them is to find a man who is like their own father in godliness, devotion, loyalty, and character. But he IS one in a million...😍
We stayed out of the rain by heading over to a hotel for one night and playing at Incredible Pizza. We had so much fun!
At the trampoline park...
Playing games...
Riding rides...
Laser tag...
Bowling...
No picture, but Calvin got his first strike! Sherrod did, however, get this fun video of him getting close...
Go karts...
Bumper cars...
Miniature golf (a first for the littles)...
We had a great time, but we might be slightly tired...😋 And there's no slowing down until the new year! 😁
