Camping Surprises!

I know Josh works hard for our family and unlike him I am not always the best at telliung him how much I appreciate him. Josh tells me just about everyday how much he appreciates me in gereneral and for specific things. I am so blessed to haev such a great husband who knows how to voice his appreciaion. To help show him my appreciate and also help him relax I thought I would take him camping. Since if I just told him he would probably remember all the things he needs to do on the long do to list that never seems to get any shorter. I though I should surprise him. So I typed up a little note with a few little details about his surprise and count out numbers for the count down. Well my little note and count down had him excitedly anticipated. Getting everything ready for camping by myself with Landon around most of the time, luckily for me Josh normally takes him with him to work half the day on Fridays so I had a little time before we left to get the last minute things ready. We still got there a little later than I had planned so it was fairly dark the time change was not helping the early darkness.
Either way we got there I remembered almost everything, forgot the air mattress pump (not the best when you are sleeping on a dirt cold ground in a tent!) Other than sleep it was great! Josh was so surprised and really loved the trip! We had hambugers and potatoes cooked on the open grill. I brought fire wood from our huge stash a home and we had a nice fire afterward to warm up by and cook s'mores on. The next day, we all had breakfast. We went for a couple of different walks and went fishing. We had lunch at the camp site. We were hoping for some fresh caught fish like last time we went to Manatee Springs but the fish just didn't seem that interested in being caught. Landon loved being about to be outside all day.

The Count Down





It was a "little" dark when we got the tent set up. It was great though because without knowing it I booking the same site we had last April (I think is when we came last) and we loved that site.

I really think he will be a great cook when he gros up and love it at least as much as his Daddy
