Our camping trip was wonderful....it was beautiful....and perfect

When we arrived it was snowing!!! Our cabin overlooked the lake filled with cypress trees....cypress knees...dangling moss....and trees with shades of red, yellow, orange, and green leaves. The guys made a fire...while the women talked about...everything....the boys played in forts, jumped off coffee tables, watched their daddies build a fire, and insisted on undressing themselves down to their pull-up. Avie managed to scoot herself where ever the attention was and tried to eat everything she could get her hands on.

We laughed...danced...played...sang Christmas carols...roasted hot dogs...toasted marsh mellows...ate together...watched football....went hiking...canoed...and most of all...we just enjoyed being with each other.

Much of the day it sits motionless with its wings half spread,

suggesting laundry hung out to dry or perhaps just enjoying some sun.
