Our After-Busy-Season Retreat

It's so good to get away after busy season is over! We made a camping trip work on the last good weather weekend of the year. It was perfect. Just a couple of days and nights, but it was so fun to just get away and hang out in the mountains together. The boys are in heaven out there (my husband included). Here they are setting up the tent.
The boys enjoying the fire.
Family canoe ride on the lake.
And this is what our evenings looked like: Darren fly fishing, Joseph practicing casting with his pole, Justin throwing rocks and me reading a book.Can't wait for next year!

I am glad that you guys had such a good time!

It doesn't look like there was a hotel nearby though so I am really confused where you sleep! :)

Jill- I am loving EVERYTHING about this post!!! It's like reliving my childhood memories!!! I am so happy that you guys got to go do that. I bet it was SO fun for you guys. And I'm totally SO proud of you for being such an awesome camper mom!

It really looks so fun. And I can imagine that fun that the little guys had and I love it!

You go girl! Oh how I miss camping and fishing and water. Looks like a blast! Glad you got your husband all to yourself finally...after busy season.

It brings tears to my eyes to see the tent being set up, boys in their chairs and on the river and the thought of you reading a book. The joys of camping being passed on to the next generation, what could be better than that.
