A few weeks ago we decided last minute to go camping for the weekend. We packed up the car and took off. Chancho did great on the 3 hour drive. Only throwing up once we got there. (and not once on the way home) He was strapped in the whole time and slept. The kids also did great this being our first long drive without a DVD player in the car.
We had a cottage right on the lake which still had ice on it when we got there Friday night.
By Saturday morning it was gone and the water not too cold. The kids couldn't wait to pump up the boat and row over to the beach.
We sat on the beach for a few hours. We had the place to ourselves. Chris and I sat in chairs and talked and read books and watched the kids dig and play with the dog.
While the boys were getting the fire going the girls went fishing. One of their favorite things!
We also spent some time at the playground....again we had it to ourselves. It was so quite up there. Perfect for relaxing after two very stressful weeks at work for Chris.
We went in to town to visit my favorite place...the Hardware store. It is so fun to walk through. We had a blast and hope we can get up there again soon.

Oh man that makes me miss Rochester! I am so jealous that you spent the weekend in Old Forge. What a beautiful place and even better that you had the whole place to yourself.
Looks like the perfect weekend. We need to get up to Old Forge this year. Can you believe that we've never made it to Old Forge?
I can't believe you let all 5 kids man the boat by themselves! Looks like you had a good time.
Glad you all had a some time away!
When exactly was "a few weeks ago?" We are still in a winter mode here in Utah as it snowed yesterday, April 22nd. Great pictures of kids being able to play together as kids should be able to do from time to time with nothing but nature to entertain them, along with a dog. Where are pictures of mom and dad?
Looks and sounds like fun. I love all the pictures. What a cute family with a cute dog.
