the time we took blue camping

 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.

 yeah, you've just witnessed one of the cutest things ever. ;)
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!

mountain pie making for dinner.

and how community was valued by these folks.

"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)

 "useupeverything" breakfast! boom.
that's how you wrap up the weekend.
