Highland Camping

 During the end of June each year a local Mennonite campground holds a fundraising BBQ.  We try to camp during that weekend and then attend the BBQ.
 Last year it rained during the weekend.  This year it just rained many of the days before.  So the weather was nice, but everything was soggy and wet.  The kids loved it!
 We hiked to the pond,
 where the kids found feathers,
 and got to spend some time on the dock.
 We also hiked along some wooded trails.

 Bikes were brought along.  Grace is able to ride on almost any surface now, but Glen still can't.  So we brought our bikes to the basketball court and the kids had a great time going around and around and around.  I am so glad that I had a book on CD that I could listen to while they zoomed around me.
 Evening smores by the campfire, in front of our tent.
As we got ready for bed it was starting to get dark, and we began to see fireflies in the field next to us.  So Grace, Glen and I ran and chased fireflies in the dusk in the field.  What fun!  I think it was the first time the kids ever went on a firefly chase.
What a great weekend.  Already planning our next camping adventure!
