Camping!

We decided to leave in the wee hours of the morning to go on our camping vacation.  We have found that Mikayla and Calli do much better when we travel through the night.  Well at least Calli does. 

We made fantastic time and arrived with plenty of time to set up camp.  We were on a new site this time so we had to figure out how things would work the best.  After we got everything set up, we headed up to Schroon Lake for the annual 4th of July festivities.  Even though the 4th was a Sunday, the town won't celebrate on a Sunday because Word of Life is involved in the celebration. 

I'm so very thankful that things were on Saturday anyway...it was probably the nicest day of the week.  Every other day was at least 95 degrees or higher.  It turned out to be a very miserable week for us.  We spent lots of time in the pool, and I have never before done that.  It's usually kind of cold to swim in the Adirondacks.  I have been camping there for at least 5 years and I never swam before.  This year, I swam every single day!  I also spent several hours in the van with the air running while feeding Calli.  She does not like the heat.

It did cool down some at night, which made sleeping bearable.  Although, Mikayla ended up sleeping in Mom Mom and Pop Pop Krupka's camper halfway through the week.

Even though it was crazy hot, we still enjoyed being fed from the Word of God every morning.  It was such a refreshment to relax and dig deeper into God's Word.  That was probably the only thing we all really enjoyed this week.  Well other than the pool :).  We have decided that we will try again next year and pray that the weather will be more enjoyable.

I also don't really have any pictures because we were in survival mode all week and I never really broke out the camera.  Bummer.
