Well, we were finally able to take our first vacation of the year and man

was it nice. Of course, it wasn't long enough, they NEVER are though. But it was the perfect little break we all needed. We decided to split up our travels. Our first night was camping. We took off to Farragut State Park and camped for a night. It was perfect. At first I was a little nervous because it had been raining all morning. Just dumping buckets of rain and I was unsure about camping with all that going on. But we took off and by the time we got there the weather was beautiful. The sun had come out and it was warm. The perfect weather! And lucky for us the rain had scared a lot of others off from camping so the campground was almost empty. We got there and set up our little tent tog

ether and then hung out around the fire. We talked and sang songs and went on walks together and then cozied up together in our sleeping bags a

nd had the perfect camping trip. No rain, quiet, the girls loved it and were so good. It was great. Then we got up and took down our camp and just drove around Farragut for a while. We went on a walk down by the river, played at the little playground they had, watched the little ground squirrels running around in their little holes, and then we had a picnic on a blanket; all while in the beautiful surroundings of Northern Idaho. Then we headed to a little resort in a little town that you would never go to unless by accident. But the resort was nestled right by the foot of some beautiful mountains and surrounded by a super green golf course and we had


a little room with a balcony and a kitchenette and it was perfect. We stayed here for two nights and had the best time. We spent some time in their recreation center where you could play games, play sports, swim, or soak in the hot tub. We spent time at the little park they had for kids and also took the girls to a little craft time that they had just perfect little projects fit for kids to participate in. Ashtyn loved it and came home with little treasures she loves. Hailey mostly wanted to paint eve

rything but

her little project but she had fun too. It was just our perfect little getaway. We promised ourselves that we are going to take every little chance we have to just get away. Even if it is just camping for a night away. We all loved it and needed it. I love that we live in such a beautiful world that we can enjoy and appreciate. And I am especially glad that we have families and that we can live together and make

wonderful life changing memories together.
