Last week this time...

Every night, as I turn off my bedside lamp and kiss my best friend good night I start thinking about this ol blog of mine, and oh, if you could only read what I think I'll write here the next day and then never do. Nino over at Text Sketches spoke about keeping a notepad by her bedside table a few weeks ago... I should do that.

While I'm not here to share one of those brilliant posts with you as I envision before I fall asleep, I am here to share with you what I was up to last week this time. I still haven't decided if that feels like a really long or short time ago. I think this time of year just messes with me. Like Christmas, it basically just ended like, what, two months ago?

We're trying to get as much camping and outdoors with out snow stuff crammed into these last few weekends before The Cold hits. Well camping and yard sales but more on that on a later post. So I was just so thrilled when the lovely Katie from Chestnut Mocha  and her husband Ben agreed that we four should go camping. Here are a few kiekies (photos) from last weekend this time.  We can't wait to do Fall-y things with them these coming months, like going to the corn-maze! One just meets such wonderful people online. (and via Instagram)


 
We went camping at Green Bay, Idaho. Which is a little gem of a place if you can get over the bee problem. It's tricky to find and not the best road,but campsites are a) free!!! and b) spacious and close to this gorgeous body of water. A win for sure, we'll be back (with anti-bee things).

  1. Love these!! (even the pic where I look pregnant hahah) Did you go camping again this weekend? We used this rainy weather as an excuse to hang out in town. I also have Green Buff (?) near Spokane now on my to-visit list: apple orchards and such! Have you been there?

    1. I HAVE to go with you guys next year to that campground. TOO beautiful. Even with bees :) That view is killer!

      Green Bluff :) is pretty fun. I've been a few times with the boys and it's a wonderful way to spend a fall day. We always get a few apples even though we get boxes of them from Brian's family orchard up in Oroville. And a pumpkin or two, because even though it's more expensive, it's so much more fun to pick your own in a field instead of a bin at the grocery store :)

    2. Ha ha Katie! You don't look pregnant you look so cute! I only take cute pictures of people ;) We didn't go camping this weekend, and can you believe it guys, I was readING your replies to this post as I was on my way to Green Bluff. I picked pumpkins and apples and flowers and berries! It was the best day, but you'll see it on here pretty soon, it was such a blast.
      Also, Amanda, you'll not be excused on our next camping trip just FYI.

  2. Can I just say that I love those colourful stones! They are beautiful! I especially love the wet/dry contrast.

    1. I loved them too! It was hard not to pack them all up and take them home and try re-create the same effect in my bathroom... But I was strong and only took a few dozen pictures of their beauty. x
