Yesterday after surviving church with the children we arrived home to find Eric home. (Yes, I did say surviving church me plus 5 kids alone is survival. Luckily they are very good.) Now lets just say in almost 10 years of Eric's employment he has NEVER left work in the middle of a SUNDAY afternoon so my thoughts were.....HE IS FIRED!!! NO he must be very sick....YES that is it he is sick.
I quickly escape the car and dash into the house expecting to find a very ill Eric instead I find a spotless living room that took my breath a way and Eric at the kitchen sink washing up the lunch dishes left behind on our mad dash to church. Eric's casual reply is,"the store was slow so I came home".
What a special treat.
We quickly decided that we did not want to waste this treat of extra time so we quickly fed the family some left overs and headed out to the local mountains to see some views and look for a future camping spot.
the pretty local mountains
Sluce boxes State Park
Our children are CITY kids
They squilled at the large spiders and other creepy crawlers
and they do NOT like walking through tall grass
Camping this summer should be a real TREAT
but I am excited to give it a try.
Sadly we found several camping spots that we know we do not want but never did find that special spot.
Oh well I guess now we will just have to spend some more time looking!!!!
