Our trip to the Adirondacks was great fun. We stopped at the gas station, and I couldn't very well go in and use the bathroom and leave the girls outside with the pup, so into the minimart she came. She was an angel while the girls got slushies.
We were there by ourselves (at the campground) for several hours before Mali got there with Josh and little Lydia. Then Benjamin and Ashley arrived with Anya and Elise, and their border collie Baxter, and their NEW PUPPY, Lila, an English Shepard. The next day, Paul and Jon got there with Suri, then Margaret and Adrian and little Wulf arrived with their dog, a boxer/Lab, Bunny. Then, Emily, Mirielle, and Suzanne came.
(Isn't that cute, with Sunny, Baxter, and the puppy?)
Elise with the puppy, Anya and Lydia and Mali (Lydia's mama), me, hanging out by the water at our campsite, and Camille with little Wulf, one of my sweet grandkids.
Charlotte Claire with cousin Dani, Sunny and Suri sad that Paul was going off fishing in his kayak without them. The nerve. Just action in the campsite, Jon on the beach with the pups and Anya running, and Anya playing on the beach.
Emily under her umbrella during one of the rain showers...
Preparations for celebrating Lydia's birthday (four years old!), a campfire, saying goodbye to the beautiful lake, and Suzanne helping Paul fold up the tent...
We are home. The fourth load of clothes is in the washer, and we are recuperating. The dogs are exhausted. They were so good. We had 20 people, including four grandkids, and FIVE doggies, so it was so much fun. And...bye for now.

You are a brave woman! LOL I couldn't do tents! Now, give me a camper, we are in business!
But it looks like a lot of fun and relaxation!!

I don't know about BRAVE, ha. I would totally prefer a camper. Remember, I had the mega air mattress, the kind that self inflates when you plug in. Our van has an outlet, and when you run the van, the outlet works, so with an extension cord, voila, I had a comfy bed that took up half the 8 person tent. I think having the little propane stove helps too, because nobody wants to start a fire for that morning coffee! A few shelter things, awnings, for rainy weather, and remembering to keep the chairs in the vehicles or under tarps at night, so you don't get soaking butts if it rains, and a little rug for outside the tent door...and it's doable.
