Elk Fest

It's 9:57 a.m. and I'm still sitting around in my jammies. I'd planned to take a walk this morning, but thought I'd sit and read while I finished my last cup of coffee. An hour and a half later, I finished the book--and the coffee. Then it was time to catch up on Google Reader and have a chat with Toben. And now I really need to go get cleaned up and ready for the day!

We're headed up to Estes Park right after school for Elk Fest this weekend. So I need to pack some warm clothes and charge the camera and gather jammies and toothbrushes and clean clothes for tomorrow. And I need to find some practical, outdoor shoes to wear. And probably some socks.

We're going with another family from school. They're camping (we're staying at a condo!) so we'll get to roast marshmallows and have campfire dinners without the hassle of setting up a tent, freezing in our sleeping bags, or dealing with campground facilities. (I would love to be a nature girl, but I really, really love modern plumbing.)

Happy weekend, ya'll!

Girl, I am so with you on the plumbing. Love the outdoors just not at night and potty time. Have Fun!

I saw the ELk Fest page and it seemed like a lot of fun. I send warm wishes from my family to yours for a great weekend.

Regards,

Sure would love to be a fly on the wall as you sit through "The Rut" lecture and then further explain that to the girls. Totally brings back the jr. high giggles! ;) No way I'd make it through that one with a straight face! I'm sure they'd ask me to leave! I'm with ya sista...camping in cold weather is not my cup of tea....since I like my teacup to be clean and me to be clean drinking my tea!!!

Sounds like you have a really fun weekend planned... especially with the modern plumbing!!!

I'll bet you'll bring back some gorgeous pictures to share with us.

Blessings!

How fun! I haven't camped in a long time but I love it as long as I have a nice camper w/ a bathroom. :) If not, condo, hotel, chalet would be fine. :)

I hope you post pictures. I love to roast marshmallows but I like my burnt. :)

Have a blessed Sunday.

p.s. I can't believe Lisa, you and myself have a Daisy. Our Daisy is the funniest dog and she cracks me up all day.

I say the same things to my little ones regularly, and it often speaks to me as well. Great honest post and encouragement. Our God is loving and forgiving, and thankfully he is willing to guide us, even when we aren't so quick to choose the wise thing.
