Camping Trip

It has been a while since the last entry. That's because we went camping for a week. It is so nice to get away, but it's nice to come back home.
It was a fun trip. We went to one of our favorite places, Stillwater. It was so peaceful! That being said, the biting gnats were horrible!! They really liked Emma's skin around her eyes and my face. I ended up getting a bite near one of my eyes, and it was swollen almost completely shut.
Oh, and what's a camping trip without at least one person getting hurt?!? Michael decided that it would be a great idea to ride one of those little ride on cars down the steep hill that goes to the bathroom. After he crashed and burned, he decided that it wasn't such a good plan after all. He has a scraped nose, elbow and forehead now.
We went on a hike to Arta Lake. It was a little over a mile, and well worth it, it was beautiful! Oh, and in case you were wondering, we did take our children on the hike with us, and they did great! The picture is of them at the lake.
