Back home from camping...

We stayed at Leiber State Recreation Area in/near Cataract, Indiana. It was an interesting time. :) We got there later on Friday than we wanted to. I just couldn't get things together before we left the house on Friday. I was scurrying around trying not to forget something. We got about 10 miles down the road and I remembered that I hadn't fed the chickens for the weekend! So we turned around and went back and fed them. Then we got back on the road. Where were going was about 3 hours away. We met some of my husband's family there. We got there and set up the tent and then cooked hot dogs over the fire. We were exhausted that night, but sat around the fire for a while before going to bed.

As a result of the hot dog (my body does NOT like those) I spent most of the night here.




The outhouse that had no door or sinks. It was ok. Really. No. I lied. It was gross! lol It was so fun watching all the spiders making their attack plan to get me as I sat there. lol. Where was I gonna go? Well, I killed 4 of them that night. I won! HA! (There's gonna be one in my bed tonight now, right?)

In the morning when we woke up we found that raccoons had eaten all our food out of our cooler! I couldn't believe it. I mean, we're not stupid, we put our food in our tent so they wouldn't get it, but the cooler? I would never have guessed that they could open the latch on that and help themselves to our eggs, lunch meat, deer steaks, grapes, cheese, bacon, butter, etc. It was a mess! We had to go into town to find a store to buy our groceries all over again. :( We outsmarted them the second night. lol The showers there were community showers. Yuck! No thanks. I'm not doing that. I waited til I got home. :) I cleaned up while I was there of course, just didn't take a shower with a bunch of strangers. 0_0

We enjoyed sitting by the fire at night (in the morning, too for that matter) It was nice.








The falls were pretty. We walked down by them to get a closer look.





This is the covered bridge that went over the water. Ryan carved our initials inside. I thought that was really sweet of him. Kinda romantic. :)





More pics of us by the falls.








I am really tired from this weekend. ;) It was nice spending time with family enjoying one of God's beautiful creations. I always enjoy that!
