Campiversary

The weekend was spent with my most favorite people on the plant, my UW girls!  The usual gang got together to for a do-over of the camping weekend that got rained out.  It was a great weekend!  On Saturday, we met everyone up near Nederland at our campsite.  After setting up tents, we lounged around in our camp chairs and caught up on each other's coming and goings while eating lunch.  Then we split up for hiking.

Part of the group headed off on a creek finding trip.  Heidi, Bryn, and I took a short walk turned two mile hike around the campground.  The flat walk turned into a downhill and then uphill hike.  It was fun and good exercise!  Bryn and I want to hike a 14'er next summer.  I can tell ya this - I'm going to need a lot more hikes that kick my butt before I'd be in any shape to hike one of those.  Our hike pooped us out and built our appetite for dinner.

Brinkley Miles with his happy camper smile!! He LOVES camping!!

When all the campers returned to the campsite, Brent and Jason worked on the campfire.  Brent fired it up the old fashion way.  Spark, smoke, and flames within minutes - always impressive.  After we were all stuffed from dinner we took a group photo!!  From there it was all about smores and enjoying the moonlight!!

One of the coolest parts of the weekend was realizing that it was our anniversary weekend.  Eleven years ago, Heidi, Bryn, and I all met while moving into the dorms at the University of Wyoming.  We lived on the same floor and slowly became friends.  It's amazing to think of all that we've been through and that we're best of friends.  I can't imagine life without my UW girls!!!  We make the most of life and always keep it entertaining!!
