A DAY IN THE WOODS

We spent last Saturday out in the woods with a few other families. It was a great day of relaxing, playing, riding bikes, sitting around a campfire, going on walks, hanging out on the river, sitting under the trees, chatting, eating, and laughing.

Most of the older boys were down at the river for a while and I asked Tim to go check on them. What he discovered upon his arrival at the water was some kids livin' off the land with a fish they'd caught ... without a pole. He only had his phone on him, so he went back down with the regular camera and got this shot.

Here's their triumphant arrival back at main camp.

Here are all three of the boys who played some part in the catch.

We'd planned on grilling hot dogs, but the men ended up putting some fresh fish over the fire instead.

The big girls spent much of the day together.

As did the big boys.

Actually, they all played together and didn't separate by gender at all, but I just happened to bust out the camera when they were grouped that way.

I didn't remember to get a picture of all the women who were there until after one had left, but three out of four is better than none. Right?

The littles were a bit oblivious to each other for quite a while, but eventually bonded over stick fights and the bike pump they took turns making farting noises with. Oh, the giggles!

It was such a fun day!
