We went on our first camping trip of the summer. We left after work on wed. Got to camp around 9:30pm. I forgot how unforgiving the hard gound is. And how even the smallest rock can feel like a big boulder in your back. We went on a little hike and walked through the forest. Around noon we decided to set up to have a little target practice. While we were setting up Kaitlyn picked up a metal pipe that someone had used to shoot at and split open the meaty spot below her thumb. It looked like it needed a few stitches. So we tightly bandaged it, packed up camp and headed down the mountain. By the time we got to urgent care it had closed on its own and they just use super clue to close it. The kids were bummed that we had to cut our trip short so we are planning on heading back up on wed. afternoon. By friday we had to doctor up her cut as it split through the super glue. But we had fun for the most part. I forgot how peaceful being up in the mountains is. Here are some pics of our trip. I love taking nature photos.

Youch!! Poor Kaitlyn! That looks painful. I remember leaving camping because of an injury soon after we got there a few times growing up. Camping memories are so much fun for kids though, I need to do it more.
