Family Day

Today the baby and I are off to spend the day with my family at our camp in the woods. Its so far from everything...no phones, no people, no running water, no "indoor" plumbing.....but overall it is awesome. The leaves are just starting to change but when they do its the most scenic place around. Its about three miles off a main highway then another mile or so in a private road. Just a small place with a couple of large rooms, a wood stove for heat and a propane one for cooking. There are gas lights and sometimes we run a generator for pleasures like football on Thanksgiving Day. When my parents and grandparents were younger we snowshoed in during the winter and had a new years party for the family. It was great as a kid...I can't wait to share it with Amy. We always took nature walks with Grampie and he taught us about different plants and animals. It was always an amazing adventure!
My Dad is looking forward to sharing it with the kids too...it makes him so happy to have us there. My grandfather still goes at 85 and has almost as much fun as he did when I was a child.
So enough typing we are off for the day! Have a good day all!S
