We were sad to have to turn down a camping trip with cousin Annie and her family.
So the next best thing was a spontaneous trip up the canyon Friday night to take our minds away from the stressors of real life.
Couper made a stellar fire as usual. And Jen, Jake, and friend were able to join us for tin foil dinners. (Ours were a bit untraditional but were made on a dime and turned out quite delicious.)
We realized we haven't spent nearly enough time this summer building campfires and staying up late talking about non-sense waiting for the last embers to fade away. Nature truly does have a way of centering you and helping you put life's choices and events into perspective. So grateful for God's creations.
Our nature girl loved searching for/chasing bugs, playing in the dirt, and gathering rocks with Aunt "Yenni" to throw in the river. One of my favorite things of the evening was watching Uncle Jake cuddle with her by the fire and talk about the stars. She's still talking about Yenni and Jake and the fun she had. So grateful for Em's aunties and uncles that love her so much.
