Who ever thought I, Libby Wachter, would be a camper??? I am proud to annouce that I have successfully made it through 3 different camping trip with no injuries, meltdowns, or crying jags! Our family camped last weekend with our friends the Schells and I would call it a success, despite the one night of rain! It was kindof like a glorified Girl Scout trip with smores, crafts, canoeing and nature walks. The girls did a little hiking to a beautiful meadow full of wildflowers. Between the five of us we had quite a bouquet! Many thanks to Bob and little Jack who went up a day early and set up camp. Amy and I decided that it is the only way to camp. Now if we could just have a butler/maid to cook all the meals and break camp for us!

Oh goody, I just love smores!
Marshmallows for the kids and cigars for the daddies
Time for dindin - Ruby, Elizabeth and Millie
Okay, I really didn't need to know how goofy I look in my headlamp, but nighttime potty breaks would be dangerous without it!
