we went to hume lake & i have [51!] pictures to prove it.

where i bunked 10 years ago!

the view that never gets old.

big teeth & bad roots is how i roll.

audrey. don't look so excited.

this moss was insanely neon green. what a trendy tree. lol!

oh, sweet mercy.

the cheese fries were exactly how i remembered them.

gretchen! i thought of you the whole time!

you guys.
i camped.

well, we were put up in a boys cabin with 10 bunks,
but still.
i didn't shower for 4 days...
and there were big black ants crawling on the floor in the room...

so, yeah.
i camped.

the last time i was at hume was in 2002, when tim & i first started dating.
dating!
i broke up with him there a few times, but whatever.
i should totally bring out the old pictures,
but another day kids.
another day.

we worked there that summer.
oh, that summer.
such good memories came-a-flooding.

it was so weird to be back.
especially at their down time with no campers.
but we came so tim & some guys could help rebuild the wagons for the junior high camp.
while the boys worked all day, karen+i were able to play, and hike, and chase kids, and eeeeeat. heh.

some things i want to remember:
my girls can do a 6+ hour road trip no problem.
my husband picks his nose when he drives.
my favorite smell in the whole wide world is orange blossoms on the orange trees.
i can go 4 days without washing my hair and get away with it [thank you bandanas!]
camp food is good.
real good.
eden doesn't like a pack-n-play very much.
i can be at breakfast at 745. i did it guys! i did it!
bear poop is really big.
i want to be more hospitable like the foster family.
audrey can get away with wearing her pjs all day long.
tim is mighty cute in construction clothes.
a+e were in heaven with mason as their neighbor.
mountain air is so clean.
i am a whiney poophead to my husband when i'm camping.
i love my friends.
[and that my friends have an ipad w kid movies when you're really wanting to nap! ehem!]
not having reception is like a breath of fresh air.
a+e lost their tooth on the same day! [same tooth, too. so strange. another post, promise.]

i still don't like camping.

well, i kinda do.
give me a chance.
i'm gonna get there.

thank you, hume.

you have the same smell.

the same feel.
and your stars are amazing.

i still like you just the same as i did when i was 20.
