We decided to go camping, just us 5. Once the idea was in the kid's mind, there was no getting around it, even though we didn't leave home until 8:00. We were blessed to find a great spot and with the little helpers holding up flashlights, we set up our tent and enjoyed our new sleeping pads. James bundled up Anna and took her for an early morning walk. Then we found the hotsprings by the river!
Helper! Mmmm... blueberry pancakes and oatmeal with hot cocoa for breakfast.
Then our friends met up with us and therealfun began...
"This is our one and only chance at mortal life—here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and nonexistent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey—now." Thomas S. Monson "Finding Joy in the Journey," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 85
