We went camping this past weekend, back to Holly Recreation Area. It's sooo pretty there and we love it. We had a WONDERFUL weekend. McKenzie loves Dora (as you know) and on the way home, just like Dora at the end of an episode, she said, "Mama, what was YOUR favorite part?" How wonderful....I am so blessed. My favorite part of the weekend was Saturday night's campfire. Both girls fell asleep in each of our arms and we just sat there as a family and we were reminded of how absolutely blessed we are.

We love camping because it brings us closer together as a family. No cell phone calls, no computers, no television. Just forced bonding --- in a good way. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE camping with my family. And, I am sure we will do it for years to come....My parents raised me and my sisters to enjoy camping. We went everywhere and it was just so much a part of our lives. I am so grateful to them for teaching us to enjoy the simpler things in life. So, enjoy the pictures! And by the way, go out camping with your family, too! You'll never regret it :)
