We're home after spending a week with our friends the Robello's camping on Monroe Mountain in Fishlake National Forest. Our camp was at 10,080 ft in the trees just above a small lake and just below the peak of the mountain. It was nice and relaxing after the hectic pace we've had for the last couple of months. We rode on our ATVs some days, and others we sat around the campfire, played games, and read books. The weather was cool....first night was 32 degrees but it warmed up during the day to the 50's, 60's and sometimes the low 70's. It rained on us real good one day/night but with our warm trailers and our rain suits for the ATVs it didn't bother us at all. All the way home I was thinking I was going to have to bale our lawn but when we arrived, Katie & Brett were just about finished baleing it for me. What great kids.

Looks fun. Since when do ATVs need a bridge to cross a marshy area?

A relaxing vacation... It's been a long while since I've had one of those. It's not quite the same when your full-time job goes with you. I'm glad you enjoyed yourselves!

Chad: ATVs don't need a bridge but the forest service wants to preserve the marshy area so we used it. Christa: Been there, done that, outgrew it, hang in there....or at least go on vacations with people that are willing to help.

Exactly what I was thinking Christa. We are going camping again this upcoming weekend and Kiera is so excited. I'm keeping food simple, but it is still going to be a ton of work!

Tent camping is a pain; A disease that I am glad I am cured of! But, we did it when we couldn't afford to do it any other way...for the kids of course!
