Some family trees have beautiful leaves, and some have just a bunch of nuts. Remember, it is the nuts that make the tree worth shaking

A-Camping We Will Go!


We're off to see the sites at Camp Dakota!  Happy Father's Day to Tom.  Even though the weather is not really what it should be at this time of year, I wanted to take Tom camping for Father's Day.  Since the weather is not cooperating too much no matter what direction you drive, we decided to stay close to home.  Camp Dakota is a little place I discovered back in February when I was looking for paintball fields for Trevin's birthday.  It is located outside Scott's Mills so it'll take us less than an hour to get there.  They have a paintball field, gold panning, treasure hunting, an RC track and disc golf course.  Nearby is plenty of hiking and waterfalls.  Seeing as we are only staying for 2 nights, we should have plenty to do.  Of course Drew and Austin will be spending the time at their father's houses, so we will only be taking Trevin, Zane and Ainsely.  It seems like it should be less effort to get only three kids ready to go, but it has been SEVERAL years since I've been camping so all of our gear was in extreme disarray.  I pulled it all out today and washed and organized it.  Everything is ready to go including the kids stuff except for Tom and I's personal items.  Even cute little Josie's food and bowls!  This will be our first camping trip with her so yes, I'm feeling a little trepidation.  We bought one of those tie-out things so she can't wander off, but I worry about her barking.  We'll just have to hope for the best. 

I will be taking our camera and try to take lots of pictures to share when I get home.  Hope all you dad's have a wonderful day as well!
