Exactly what we needed

We went camping a couple weeks ago, just the 6 of us. We ended up going to Spring Creek in Crawfordsville after a couple of tweaks and setbacks, but we couldn't have made a better choice! Here are my favorite shots.

When we set out on our camping trip, I wasn't sure how it would work out but I couldn't have imagined it any better. There is something about being out of dodge, without interruptions, and free of normal responsibilities. My husband and I have had a rough year and I never would have thought that going camping would be the magic touch needed to turn it around.

We had so many opportunities to just be a family and enjoy each other. After long and exhaustive afternoons, my hubby and I settled down by the fire just the 2 of us. For the first time in months we just listened. I guess thats all we needed, to be heard, understood, and appreciated. We all need that. Maybe next time we hit a dry patch i'll just light the fire place :)
