Last night we took out our recent *vintage* :) purchase of a few months ago (see below) and went camping! The boys were so excited, they could hardly take their afternoon naps. We drove just outside of town to the most beautiful spot, with a very short walk to an open meadow that had an incredible view of the mountain. For some reason all the pictures we took to document the event have disappeared off of the memory card. !*%#? Could the camera battery dying have anything to do with it? It's a mystery!

Thank goodness we had this baby though, because it was so cold!! The little heater inside kept us all toasty and warm, and it was so nice to wake up and not feel like your toes needed to be amputated! And it was lovely eating our dinner at a quaint little table inside! (Jess hunted grouse the other day and actually came back with three! I was very surprised/impressed because he is not a hunter. We grilled them up on the fire, along with the hobo dinners I put together, and they were actually really good!!) Then we made s'mores, and called it a night. Fun family times!
