camping!

two weeks ago, we headed off on an Arkansas camping trip!
we were supposed to go with our church but mike got delayed in nyc for a conference and couldn't make it. 
nanny and paw paw to the rescue! they loaded up the two big boys and drove them up to a secluded camping spot in Arkansas!
i took the two little boys the next day and even daddy surprised us and got to spend some time camping too!
a lovely four day weekend :)
enjoy our pictures!

so secluded!
and a TON of natural crystals to collect!!

the perfect swimming hole right where we camped!









juuuuuust warm enough in the daytime to get in the water!
but freezing at night!
perfect!


our camp, at the top of the bank!




tiny crawfish catching!




seeing if the baby crawfish can pinch ;)




naptime!

a godinich campout isn't complete without hobo stew!




and homemade peach cobbler!!







mmmm.
we've had peach cobbler every time i can remember camping, even as a little girl.
something i will pass on to my boys for sure!

massive marshmallows.
the boys were thrilled.









all snug and ready for the night!

morning hot chocolate!





cinnamon rolls and bacon!






we found a natural spring closeby!




a little hike before lunch






so pretty!






my sweet parents :)

they routed it through the picnic area but this was an all-natural spring!
so cold and refreshing!!


back to our camp for an afternoon swim :)




peek a...

naptime for paw paw

a cool dam and waterfall a little ways up the creek




cool, weird lichen



mexican corn pudding for dinner!




coooooold mornings :)




daddy!!

omgosh.
soooooo glad we saw this while LEAVING the campground.
i would have been ridiculous if i had seen this at the beginning.

a wonderful trip!!!!
