We headed down to Brown County Sunday afternoon for an overnight campout. Pastor Mike and Michelle came down after church Sunday night and joined in. The idea was for us to get set up and enjoy the campsite all afternoon and evening but the kids wished their time away until Pastor Mike and Michelle got there. They did arrive and life began again. We roasted hot dogs, had smores and enjoyed the fire until very late. I tried putting the kids to bed so we could have adult time but they kept popping there heads out of the tent. We outlasted them though :) Monday morning we woke to the sounds of the surrounding campers, that didn't stay up late, enjoying their morning. I fixed hot chocolate, David started up the fire and one by one everybody got up. I won't tell who was the last one :) I fried bacon on the handy gas burner that Mom and Dad gave us for Christmas last year. Then made scrambled eggs and pancakes. We took a hike and skipped rocks in the lake. All this sounds charming and fun and it was but the bees were a huge pest this year. Four of us were stung. We ended up packing up and not grilling hamburgers like we planned. We headed to the town of Nashville, IN and shopped around, ate lunch at That Sandwich Place. It was a very enjoyable time getting to know our Pastor and his dear wife. I respect them and feel blessed to have them at our church.

Wow...that looks like a lot of fun and brings back many memories. I haven't been camping in forever. We need to plan another camping excursion for extended family. I missed the last one six years ago, because I chose to go to Ireland instead...still think I would make the same decision if I had to make it again though :-). I'm glad you like your new pastor and his wife. I think they are both great people and will do a very good job!
It does sound like a wonderful time..except for the bees - ouch!
I dearly love camping but we don't get to do it much anymore.

I still can't believe Mike's old enough to pastor. I remember him as a little boy! (Which dates me quite a lot...)
Looks like fun! (except for the bees!)Hope it was relaxing for you...We need that in today's lifestyle! And yes, We are so blessed to have Pastor Mike and Michelle...They are awesome!
