I wondered if it would be as enchanting to be back in our second home for our fall camping trip.  I mean how could three days ever measure up to three months?  But I need not have worried.  As others have already shown, it was a great time!  I remembered this weekend that what was missing from most of our summer was our friends, and their precious children!  Camping with loads of kids is full of the best kinds of memories.  Even the battles are funny.  Thanks to our friends and family for coming along with us, even in the freezing cold to fill up my heart with the goodness that is hot coffee around the campfire and no where to be for days.  Even if we forgot cups and had to improvise.

My favorite quote…”HEY!  It’s MY turn for the hot chocolate cup!”  One hot chocolate cup among 17 children is a small inconvenience we will hopefully remedy next year!
