A few weekends ago we sold, and bought a camper! In a very Ryan McGrath move, we bought a new camper on a Sunday morning and then sold our old one a few hours later that afternoon. It was a wild ride - typical McGrath. So, we decided we wanted to plan one final, last minute camping trip so we could try out our new toy.
Believe it or not, Columbus Day weekend, just as the fall leave are turning, one of the last nice weekends of the year is a VERY busy time to camp...(Trust me, I already knew this) but we were able to score some sites at a small private campground near Starved Rock state park, just about 1.5 hours from our house. If I had it to do over again, we'd have planned well in advance, and we'd have gone somewhere different, and stayed at a different site, but, sometimes being spontaneous comes at the cost of having everything fully planned out in the most perfect way. And, you know what? At the end of the day we still had a great time with our friends, and that's what matters.
Also - why does Abby look so big here?! I think between this picture, and one further down where she's sitting in a bag chair, I can see a peek into what she's going to look like as a teenager. Lord help us all!
These pictures make it look much sunnier and warmer than it was when we started out for the hike in the morning. It was cool and drizzly - maybe even really raining. I think we all considered just skipping the hike, but I'm glad we stuck it out. The afternoon turned out beautiful!
OMG! This girl squad is going to be something to contend with! I can't wait to watch them all grow up together.
See?? Teenage Abby right here!
