Denton MD- First Camping Trip Martinak State Park

Late March 2013...

Just a few of the pictures from our first adventure - We had a great time and we learned a lot! We now know that you can start a fire with Uncle Ben's magnifying glass; that you can cook on an open fire (but its really not ideal - ashes); and we now know about the dreaded Emerald Ash Beetle! It was great to get outside and even more amazing to get out of our comfort zone. Time to plan our next adventure...

Simplifying

This is just a tiny sample of what we have gotten rid of – It feels great to de-clutter and simplify.  We have had Purple Heart pick up our donations three times so far this year, we have sold no longer needed items on Ebay and at our favorite consignment shop, Babies in Bloom and we have cleaned out the attic and basement, which resulted in many. many bags of trash.  It is amazing what accumulates and what you just keep around because its there.  It’s been a process and we still have too much stuff, but we are making progress (and a little travel money, too!)

March 25, 2013

Yesterday we were enjoying the great outdoors.  Our first official camping trip is this Friday…  It is officially already Spring.

Yet today, it is SNOWING!!!!!  School is cancelled for the day, so we are relaxing by the fire and I’m getting a head start on camping preparations and Homeschool planning for next year. 

Fingers crossed that the weather warms up for the weekend!  I really don’t want to start our camping adventures in long underwear

Leaving the ‘hood.  The boys saw their Aunt Keri and we let them go to the back bedroom and wave ….See them in the back window waving?

Bull!

We will NOT be traveling this way.  No bulldogs on the dashboard...
