We Went Camping!!!!!
For my birthday this year we decided to pack everything up and head to the UP(upper peninsula). It was awesome!!! Matt and I love to camp but sadly, it had been years since out last camping trip. I'm so glad we did it again!
We built a fire...
We even did most of our cooking over an open fire!!!
Saturday we spent most of the day hiking. Here we are at the largest waterfall in the USA east of the Mississippi River!
Our friends, Robbie & Brittany, came out with us! It is so much fun to have friends that like camping and hiking too!!!
A fun sign that we saw while walking through the woods.
The park that we went to is well known for it's waterfalls. We hiked from our camping site to both the smaller falls and the larger fall! It was a hike! The sign from the small one to the big one said 4 miles-not bad eh? But when we got to the top someone in the know informed us that it wasn't four miles... it was 6!!! We were all done by the end of that trail. All in all we hiked about 8-9 miles that day!
So here are a few pictures I took of the waterfalls.
Isn't he good lookin? I think so!
Oh! while hiking we came across a TON of trees that looked like this. Guess what did it!
Beavers!
The park ranger said that they are some of the laziest beavers ever! they never finish cutting down any trees! lol and they've never built their dam!! lol
But I think this is my new fave picture!!! Thinking I may have to print this one out. What do you think?
Like I said before, we had a blast!!! I'm so glad that we made the trip! Besides being eaten alive by mosquitoes, it was great camping. But we did realize something out there in the wilderness...we are too old to be sleeping on the ground!!! Next time we'll bring an air mattress!!!
