We returned home this evening from another fun camping weekend. These weekends are winding down quickly. We only have one more scheduled for this year. This go round we camped at Wellsville Dam. Yes, that's right. Wellsville has a Dam and we really did camp 8 minutes from home. It was great! For us camping isn't about where you go, it's about who you go with. As long as the girls are happy and having a great time, it doesn't matter where we are.
We pulled into camp Friday night about 7:30 and enjoyed a yummy polish sausage and got everything settled. Saturday brought me, Dave, Hannah and Nicole heading to Nibley to can applesauce. Ashley stayed behind to be with Taylor. These two become inseparable on the camping trips. Saturday turned into a long day. We canned 175 quart jars and 10 pint jars of applesauce. We then left and headed back to camp to make dinner for everyone. I love how we do the meals camping. Each family is in charge of cooking & clean up of one meal. The other meals you get to relax. It's also nice on the grocery shopping. You only have to prepare for one meal and your snacks. Nice! Saturday night we watched "Rio" on the big screen and went to bed exhausted.
Sunday morning we got up early and headed home for showers and church. It was nice being so close to home. We didn't have to find anyone to fill in for us with our church callings. We were back in camp by 1:00 and enjoyed the afternoon and evening. The only thing I would change would be how hot it got in the afternoon but once the sun went down it cooled off quickly.
Today we went to the Wellsville parade. Dave actually had to work the parade on his motorcycle so once again it was convenient to be in Wellsville. He brought his motorcycle to the campground Sunday after church and was able to be with us until he had to head off to work. This was the first time I have seen the Wellsville parade and I must say it was an interesting one. Not one that I'm really dying to see again. Lots of guns and shooting. I'm sure they were blanks but they sure were loud. The cowboys and Indians were interesting too. I guess you have to see it to understand what I'm talking about.
It was 6:30 before we got home tonight and had the trailer dumped and a few errands run in town. The girls were in bed by 8 o'clock. Everyone is exhausted but sure had a fun time!
Bring on the week....I think. I just filled in our schedule on our back whiteboard and wow! It's a busy week. Soccer starts this week for Hannah and Ashley. The nice thing....they both have practice on Thursday which is the only night during the week that we're actually home. I guess we're not now! They'll be practicing in Wellsville. Each of them have a game on Saturday. It's six weeks of sacrifice. I sure hope they appreciate it!
Nicole gets to start preschool tomorrow. She started TaVaci last week and was so cute! She has been flying around the house tonight because she gets to start school tomorrow. Oh man! She's almost 4 going on 14.
Until later!
