Part Two~The Hike
We picked a few more flowers and found we disturbed a ladybug's siesta...
As soon as we saw the cottage a sense of relief and calm came over us. It's not very big at all. in fact alot of the RVs that had spots nearby were bigger than the cottage. There is only one small bedroom...in it, it houses two sets of bunk beds with a tiny space just wide enough for one person to stand between them. ..But it was home for a week.
A few days later our awesome friends drove down in their camper to spend part of the week with us. A day later we took a beautiful hike...
Here are the three guys..Hubby's Army buddy and dearest friend M, The Hubster and my son D
The water in this lake was so crystal clear, it made you want to drink it. Clouds kept threatening to pour but they gave us a break
Here I am wearing my Husband's sweat jacket...believe it or not it was COLD that day!
Our Friend picked a few posies for my daughter...honestly isn't this the sweetest picture?
sorry L.B...ssshhh go back to sleep~
And what's camping without the annual sighting of snakes...UGH!
But no fear our awesome friends brought along their attack dog Kibbles
~This picture just made me think of a poem...
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

ReplyDeleteThanks Beth, It really was such a beautiful hike
Deletei love hiking it so much fun to see nature at it's best
ReplyDeleteYes! I liked this hike so much better than last year's..last year We hiked deep in the woods and climbed over fallen trees and I was a bit spooked when I saw damage that had been done by a bear's claws!
DeleteI did indeed enjoy all the pictures, most especially the last one and the quote.
ReplyDeleteThank you! the last picture was taken by my daughter and it just merited that poem quote.
DeleteLoved the pictures! I thought of that exact same poem when I saw the last picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sandi!
DeleteLooks like a wonderful retreat. When I saw that last picture, before reading your comment under it, I thought of the same poem. Thanks for the lovely little getaway. I feel replenished.

Aww you are sweet!
DeleteWhat great pictures and the cabin sounds cute and loved the poem......
ReplyDeleteHi Jo-Anne, It was cute, but how I wish it had just one more room! It gets a bit crowded.
DeleteI loved the poem at the end, too...and that amazing photo! Looks like you had a good time and made some memories. I still remember lots of fun camping trips when my boys were growing up! Happy fourth, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYes we did make some cool memories!
DeleteWhat a lovely camping trip you and friends are having, considering it started off rough and rainy! Snakes yikees. Diane
ReplyDeleteJoanne, what a great location for a camping trip!
