Hello Everyone! This week we went on another campout, this time with my little brother! We had lots of fun beating Dad at playing Uno, Hiking, and cooking marshmallows! I really enjoy baking marshmallows over the fire, and we had a BIG fire!

  • Highlights of the trip!
  • I went stargazing at night and I was able to see multiple constellations like Cassiopeia and Cepheus
  • Stargazing is my new hobby as of a week or two ago
  • We had a big enough fire to be able to call it a Bonfire
  • I find the fire really peaceful and I enjoy all aspects of controlled fires…..except smoke
  • I was able to see a really pink sunset on a twilight hike
  • On the same hike we saw the city from almost the top of the mountain
  • I was able to forget about my Kidney for a while

Even Potato Potato had a lot of fun! It went on a new hike (In the time period of us walking It also fell…many, MANY times) while searching for its family origins. We also had a round of Uno played with Potato Potato, who found it very difficult to play with it’s mashed potato brain.

I’m glad to be able to live in an area to easily go to different campsites, and be able to enjoy nature’s wonders. I very much enjoy being able to stay in the mountains for a while. I’m excited to go again, no matter how far it might be from that time. Plus a fire and the extra access to viewing stars is a big bonus.

P.S. I got a nice anonymous gift basket full of yellow sunshine! Thank you for thinking of me. I really appreciate it. It made me very happy with the cheery aura it gave. Thank you whomever took the time to put it together. I loved everything it included, and I’ll even share.

I would also like to thank all of those others who keep remembering me and dropping off fun presents! Thank you so much!
