We were definitely ready for a vacation!
The evening after Ben's last class for the summer we headed up towards Canada to my new favorite camping spot. Sullivan Creek. It's B.E.A.utiful!
It was so nice to have no distractions.
We cooked, slept, hiked, laid on the beach, and recharged ourselves for the busy year ahead.
We loved it so much that three or so days after we got home- We packed up and went back!
The kids love Kati. Lucy calls her by her first and last name. Its really cute.
While we were up there, Lucy asked Kati: "Why you have to go to college?!"
Adorable. I don't want Kati to leave either!
That's my little Mogley rock jumping in his undies!
Sullivan Lake
David hiked the whole way by himself!
It was about 3 miles downhill, then 3 miles back up. They played in the water at the midway point (hence the underwear picture). He managed to get his shoes and pants wet in the process so the whole way up he was wet. But he NEVER even said a word about it! He is seriously a true hiker.
If you can't tell (Camille, Kati, Me)
Ben carried Lucy the whole way. Except when Kati carried her for about .25 of a mile.
Camille and Brad served up a yummy lunch for us on the hike!
Lucy LOVES chips!
...heck, so do I!
"Ben Nye" The Science Guy was with us. He showed us lots of cool mushrooms (we didn't eat any of course). We did find a little mouse who looked like he had eaten a poisonous one though...he was pretty much dead. Brad tried to give him CPR, but it didn't work. Poor mouse.
Our little fam at the trailhead.
David LOVES Uncle Bradley!
I love these girls!
Eating breakfast together.
Isn't that the sweetest thing ever?!
Wow. Here is Lucy checking the list. (Hum, what was she seeing me do all day?)
All the men getting the canoe ready!
This vacation helped me realize that life is good. That's what I needed. I can't wait to go again next year!
SO fun. The only camping we did this year was in the backyard. But this post makes me want to go. I think you need internet so you can update more often!!

Celeste. Thanks for your comments. You're so nice! I wish we lived closer too! Please please do the Wardrobe Wednesday! I would love it if you did. Hope all is well. I would love to see pics of Brazil...though I think I got the full experience already with that green drink.
