*Note* I am writing this now but the actual blog was written on paper late Friday night. We went camping and did not have a way to get this online.
It has been a crazy day for me. We have been planning a camping trip with my husband's cousin for a few weeks now and we finally are here. It started out okay, we woke up and started loading my husband's truck, then I had a test to take down in Branson. From there we had to go home for something we forgot, then run by the store for a last minute purchase. Finally we arrived. This spot is one they new about and so after driving miles down an old country road we found our campsite. It is right on the lake and absolutely beautiful. Then we had to set up camp and start a fire. They guys were setting up the boat and fishing stuff and we got dinner started and a canopy set up to keep bugs out. We cooked corn on the cob, "Cowboy Beans" (that's what my 4 year old calls baked beans) and pork steaks; all over the open fire. It was delicious. Now I am sitting here by lamp light, my boys are asleep. Their kids are asleep and she is lying down with her smallest one. Aside from my lamp light and the dying camp fire it is very dark and peaceful. The lake is about 30 feet from where I am sitting, although I cannot see it I can hear the gentle waves lapping at the shoreline. The guys should be back any minute from their catfish hunting. Our plans our a fish fry tomorrow if they are successful tonight. I hear rustling behind me, wonder what kind of critter is out tonight. Off to bed I go on my little blow up mattress and sleeping bag.
