Camping and John Jacob Jingle....who?

We have returned from the annual cabin weekend.  While I am NOT a camper and my inability to keep that to myself, I must admit that this year was not that bad!  I am not a fan of the bugs, dirt, wet, and cold.  I have been after John to plan this event a bit earlier than mid-October so that we could avoid the 30 degree night temperatures.  Well, this year we succeeded in a mid-September campout and the weather was perfect (except for the showers we had overnight while we were sleeping).  Not one time was I cold!  I'm afraid to say it too loudly, but if each year could be so pleasant, I might start liking camping :-)

Other than my issue with bugs, dirt, wet and cold...I do actually love this annual trip.  There are fun things to do, great food to eat, and good times with family.  This year was no exception.  The event was complete with hay bale jumping, golf ball hitting over the river, swimming/wading in the river, the famous hayride in the dark (Steve did not make me fear for my life on our hayride this year - he must have felt bad about last year when I was sure we would tumble over down the hillside), trip up to the farmhouse to find cats and kittens,trips to the outhouse, buckeyes, etc. etc.

Here's a few pictures of the weekend.  I have an incredibly cute video of Austin singing for me, but I can't get it to load on the blog right now.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Looking forward to next year!
