Ladies Camping Trip

Mandi, Sawyer and I went on a little camping trip together in Oyama last week. We followed a bumpy, dirt road for about 15 kms and found a lovely camp site. It was a single site on a lake complete with an outhouse and a picnic table. Just perfect. It was breathtaking actually. The water was so peaceful and there was absolutely no one around.

Here are a couple panorama's Mandi took. Isn't this place gorgeous?!??!







It isn't at all what I expected. We'd been driving up a dry dusty dirt road and then this place appeared out of no where. Awesome!







I probably took 100 pictures of the lake alone because I enjoyed it that much. Now I have the lovely job of going through them and keeping only the very best. We'll see how that goes.
It was 38 degrees when we arrived at 6:30pm on Wednesday evening and the weather only went down-hill from there. There was no rain, thankfully, but we didn't get a chance to swim in the lovely lake. The second morning we woke up to frost on our tent and on everything we left outside. Bean had woken in the night and came to snuggle with her momma because it was so chilly.

We took these pictures that morning as we were taking down camp. We left right after Sawyer's morning feed because we had some preparation to do for our next camping trip, the church camp out, that we were going on that same day. 
 We decided that we are going to have to make this an annual trip. We want to take our husbands, friends and kayaks/canoes next time though... and maybe go when the nights will be a little warmer.
