Memorial Day Weekend

We've been trying to go camping during Memorial Day for several years now.

This year we were finally able to make it happen!

We invited some friends and our family.

Not everyone was able to make it, but we still had a great time!

My sweet husband, my in-laws, and I headed up to the mountain on Friday.

One couple headed up Thursday and saved us spots.

We arrived at camp in the afternoon,

set up camp,

and made dinner.

My family arrived late that night.

The weekend was really great.

We went on a 9 mile hike, 

my sweet husband's family had gone on this hike before but no one remembered how long it was.

But it was worth it.

It was really pretty.

We went on a short hike as well and had watermelon that we chilled in the river.

And we did a lot of eating and relaxing.

My sweet husband also made a rope swing for the kiddos....

and a few others tried it too.
