Bret and I love the outdoors. We love to camp and hike and kayak. Some weekends, it’s tough or impossible for us to get away. Since the weather is getting a big warmer, we’re getting the outdoor itch….we have a lot weekend commitments for the next few weeks, so getting away is out of the question.

What’s an outdoorsy couple to do? Why, set up the tent in the backyard!

Last night, was the second night we slept outside and let me tell you, sleeping outside makes me a morning person. Almost annoyingly so! I kept saying, I LOVE this! I had SUCH a great night sleep! It was a clear night too, so we kept the rain fly off to see the stars. 🙂

How do you get your outdoor fix with busy weekends?

Day 1926 – Camping At Granite Hill Campground With Clients Who Became Friends

Posted on October 19, 2014 by 365 days of marriage

We just returned from camping with several of our previous clients, who are now friends. I LOVE how much this group has taken us in! We’ve been invited to their “family” (you all know the adopted friends who are really family) camping trip and some of their holiday celebrations. We always talk about wanting to become friends with our clients and I LOVE when it gets to this level! I can’t wait until next year!

So, what does this camping weekend look like?

First, it starts with a beautiful sunset at check-in.

Followed by enough wood for about a day….seriously, we had to get another load the second day!

Fall leaves falling…

Selfies around the campfire…

Playing with our friends’ dogs…

Growing longer tongues…

Pumpkin carving contest…

The Saturday Night Stew Tradition…..every person brings a can of something (non-dairy based and people food)….and we toss it all in a pot….finished off with some Ramen noodles. The past two years we’ve had it, it tastes amazing! We’ve been told it’s always good!!!
