Camping trip

note: So as not to disclose our location to unwanted readers this post may have obscure descriptions.


This past week we decided to go on a family camping trip again. (I don't think I mentioned our first one to a state park near some water falls not too far away.) This was our second one with just our family at a state park. Because we have adopted children from the foster care system we get free access to state parks for 5 years including free camping. That's why we've been choosing state parks. This time we chose a state park almost 3 hours drive from our house. We chose this location because it was within 20 minutes of a temple Timothy and I hadn't been to before.



We were able to set-up camp and walk by a river and roast hotdogs and marshmallows. The children had napped in the van on the way there and even thought we put them to bed late it still took about 3 hours to get them to sleep. (That was the VERY frustrating part about the camping trip.) In the morning we packed up and got into church clothes and drove to the temple.

Timothy and I took turns doing a session while the other stayed out with the children. It was kind of a long day and we still had a 3 hour drive home. But, it was worth it. And it was nice to see this smaller temple that we hadn't seen before. They are all so beautiful and full of the spirit.
