Labor Day camping

We spend a lot of times in the woods around these parts. We live less than a mile from a beautiful hiking trail and happen to be close to miles of dunes and nature trails in our area. I really love that we can pack up and drive for 10 minutes or three hours and spend a weekend camping. This weekend we gave our backyard campground a try. This campground really was in our neighborhood, it was only about 5 minute drive away. But, it was great. It was a rustic campground so I am glad we were able to use the camper!

listening for bears probably

thankful for fire

Big T came camping for the day

The happiest camper. He LOVES it!

Little tequila and mix make for a fun night!

A broken toe does not. [side note: this was done while completely sober, so excuse besides klutziness]

Our done with camping, need food to warm our bones dinner.

We spent our weekend around the fire with family, eating delicious food, letting our phones die, and enjoying the families of loons all around! We went fishing and paddle boarding, ate a few too many s'mores and enjoyed a margarita (or three...). I managed to bust my pinky toe on the banquet in the camper and once I cleaned the dirt off my feet, realized that it was definitely not just a sprain- no matter how many times josh someone suggested it was. I also ventured into some questionable water to help put the boat on the trailer, while wearing Hudson! Even with a minor injury, we really had a great time and are already thinking of our next adventure!
