I can't believe it, but Nephi said "YES" to camping. We weren't going camping in our backyard either, we actually left our house to go camping. Sorry about the dramatics but really this was a huge weekend for us!!
The Jepperson and Funk family invited us to come with them. Oh, I am so grateful we went. It was so nice to get away and enjoy nature. The first afternoon, when we got there, we went to see a couple of waterfalls. Then we headed for fishing. Nephi and I just lounged and talked while everyone else fished. It was just so peaceful to have the sounds of the great outdoors. The second day, we had the most amazing breakfast and took a walk by the river. We had our Sunday lesson and took a nap. Then we got ourselves ready for the water and went back to the river. Nephi and my plan was to just soak the feet. After slipping in, I decided I really needed a bath ;) Nephi didn't want to be left out and went all in. It was refreshing to get into the river water. Then we spent a few hours just drying off and finding cool rocks in the water. Some of the Jepperson daughters had fun climbing back and forth from shore to shore. I love the picture we got of them. I love that they are wearing the Primary colors of red, blue and yellow!! That evening, we had smores and roasted several items. It was so much fun! The kids even went snipe hunting. The third day came way to fast. We got up, backed our items and left for home.
It was a fun weekend of camping. I made some amazing friends that I now call family. Their kids were so wonderful and kind to each other and to us. Bentley loved spending the weekend, playing with the dogs that were brought. There were plenty of kids but the dogs was Bentley highlight of the whole trip!! Okay, maybe she enjoyed sleeping in the tent beyond her own back yard. It was the camping experience that we needed as a family! Camping was amazing! Soap Stone Campground was the place we needed to be!!
