This week has been a great week for family!
The first part of our week was spent camping, not too far away at Lake Cumberland State Park. We had a great time! We had visitors one night, and the rest of the time was spent just relaxing and doing whatever we wanted.
To me, camping is one of the greatest outings for a family because there really is no pressure to have to be anywhere or do anything. Sometimes when we go on other types of vacations, we have it so planned out that while it is fun and recreational, there is not much relaxing!!! But camping is different. For us, there isn't a schedule, just being together, hiking, riding bikes, pushing dump trucks around (well, if you're Jacob), examining creepy crawlies in the woods and of course roasting marshmallows. We had a GREAT time!
When we got home we were greeted by my sister, visiting from Texas with her newborn, Beau. We've had a great time with them as well. It was a quick visit (she's leaving tomorrow), but I'm so thankful that we had the opportunity to see her and hold Baby Beau while he is still a sweet newborn. I have much to be thankful for!
Here are some pics from the camping trip...

The memories of camping will last a lifetime! We have so many memories of camping with you kids when you were small, some of our very best vacations.
We are meeting Daddy and Candy to camp next week-end and we can't wait! Then, they are letting us use the pop-up camper for the summer and we can't wait to take the kids during the summer.
