this camping trip might be our most adventurous one YET!
mr. mack & i had been contemplating taking our boy,
camping with us.
finally, we just decided= why not!
and thankfully we did; because he was so much fun!
we chose:
mainly for their hiking & orienteering.
it's about 1 1/2 drive from us-
which ended up being a beautiful drive: to & from!
thursday: [7*24*14]
this fella knew something was up; just not what exactly.
we made a few pit stops before we left the county!
(i was clearly on dog duty)
clearly, i'm the BEST at it...
my favorites. <3 <3
he had two car positions: THIS ^ & THIS v
both equally as adorable!
oh lancaster county, you're all kinds of BEAUTIFUL!
we're here! ..and someone is certainly excited.
you're welcome.
hot dogs-onions-bbq sauce: whoa! delicious.

friday: [7*25*14]
one of my favorite things about camping:
the stillness of the morning & the quiet time spent reading my bible. <3
[& all wouldn't be right without some: camp coffee]
this man= the greatest thing to ever happen to me. <3
and the best camp cook i ever did meet.
[eggs + bacon + sweet potato hash + peaches + coffee ....for the win!]
oh & maybe some nutella toast......................................................YOLO.
off to explore + orienteer?
map reading. old school. i'll take it!
make your own path, dude. i'll follow you.
i'm no expert..but i think the map is upside down? hmm...
we found our way= all 8 markers!
b loves his watermelon!
mountain pie making for dinner.
night light.
blue sandwich!

sunday: [7*27*14]
"God's economy makes beautiful exchanges:
as we give, we grow. you do not risk like a fool;
you are wisely investing in the only two things that will not die:
God & peoples souls."
[2 corinthians 5: 14-21]

this trip was seriously one of the best.
it's a bit of a shock how well this hooligan behaved.
but now we know what to expect..right?
(we're lucky he's ours. <3)

that's how you wrap up the weekend.
