Oct. 22, 2007 - A Perfect Weekend for Camping

Anyone remember The Joys of Tent Camping in the Rain?  It took us all summer to try again, and initial weather forcasts were predicting a similar weekend, but instead we were blessed with the most glorious fall weather and a fabulous time with friends and family!  There were about 25 people in our group and the kids had a great time roaming from one campsite to another.  They won't know what to do if we ever go camping by ourselves again!  My favorite parts are the big Saturday night potluck and Sunday morning worship service.  The autumnal sanctuary was ideal for worship! 

Without further ado, here are a few pictures of our weekend at beautiful Mounds State Park in Anderson. 

 

My brother always has been a monkey!

This picture simply does not do justice to the breathtaking view from our campsite!

It's unbelieveable how many pictures one must take to get all four children to look at the camera at the same time!

All they really wanted to do was play in the leaves!

And one more for good measure.

 

So here's the question for all you fellow campers:  Do you mess with make-up when you're camping?

Those pictures are great! We have many of our trees changing now too. We have had some crazy warm weather too, so our trees are confused ;p I love Fall pictures.

We used to live in Anderson! That is where we got married and where Cassie was born. :) So how was Mounds for camping? Any good trails or fun stuff to do?

Make-up when camping... Not really, but I sometimes will still do mascara since people ask me if I'm ok when I don't. :)

I'm with Cindy. I'll do mascara maybe, as I'll be messing with my contacts each morning and night anyways. (the eyeballs are RIGHT there...might as well make 'em not look so sleepy)

What a nice picture of you and your husband. Very nice. Every picture of us I end up looking obese, so it doesn't make the cut. :(

Shhhhh! Don't tell anybody, but my husband and I camped out at Mounds State Park on our Prom night our Senior year of high school.

Absolutely! I always wear makeup while camping. I don't want to scare the forest creatures! LOL.

Blessings,
Lori
