Camping

We finally went camping!

During seminary Joel went camping a couple of times with different friends, then we both went camping up North in MN with friends, and to a friends cabin in Wisconsin, we've camped at Lutherhaven and have stayed in cabins at camps...

But it's been a while...

Probably the most camping we've done over the past few years has been in a tent in our living room...staycationing...

But...

A couple of weekends ago.  We slept in a church member's camper.  Because lets face it, I was not about to sleep on the ground in a tent!

Church service the last Sunday in August was in the mountains at a rotary campground.  It included both of our churches and 2 others...

The campground was reserved the night before for anyone who wanted to camp out.

We were planning on skipping that part and just going out Sunday morning. But Friday night a parishioner called and invited us to go camping...we could sleep in their camper!

We made it out there about 3 hours later than we thought we would, but just in time for dinner. 

We enjoyed smores around the campfire, good conversation, a cozy sleep, some cool weather (finally!) and a wonderful church service the next day.

It's always fun to see Pastor Joel preaching and leading in a camp setting!
