Camp Bugs and More

Last year, there was a new bug caught every day. This year, the excitement was in one day over two bugs. Look at how large this beetle is. It was just crawling by as we sat, and Josh observed it for awhile til he set it free.

This catterpillar conveniently crawled right onto our tent netting and was so cute.

It blesses me each time Pete reads the Bible with the kids, whether at home or on vacation. I love this habit. What was cool about the timing today, was that as these three sat down to start, our neighbors were worshipping the Lord singing "How Great is Our God"

This sunday afternoon, we went down to the end of the road, and added to this dam that others before us had started.

For Pete and I, there is much pleasure in sharing our pre-kids past time of camping, hiking and exploring with our kids now.

another tradition the boys created is throwing pine cones at this neck of the woods:
