Bennett Springs
This was the 2nd annual camping trip with the Medley family, this time landing us at Bennett Springs in Lebanon, very close to home. The Medley's left on Thursday evening to get a spot (and it was a GREAT one!) before they were all consumed as it was Free Fishing Weekend. Chris, Aaron and I went up Friday afternoon (Austin had plans elsewhere) after the Huggler tent was pitched and the bathrooms found...it was time for Bryon to work his magic on the open fire. We brought t-bones and ribeyes, they had HUGE potatoes. I'm really sorry for those of you reading this because it is hard to comprehend how delicious this meal tasted. The boy can cook!!
The back drop was absolutely perfect. A breeze keeping us cool, trees engulfing the campsite, polite neighbors (unlike last year's trip), along with great conversation and laughter! I, unfortunately didn't get to 'camp' as I had obligations at work so I just commuted Friday and Saturday. I caught up on some reading, snacked, and got caught in Grace's excitement over snakes, losing her flip flop in the river (a nice gentleman rescued it), the raccoon that successfully opened the massive food storage container in the middle of the night. Seriously, Lisa said it ate a half a bag of marshmallows and dragged a loaf of bread under the truck. Yep, she had soooo much to tell. It was really a wonderful, relaxing weekend despite my missing a large part of it.
The guys pulled on their waders so they could trout fish. Aaron had been looking forward to this for quite some time. He came back full of excitement, along with wet socks! Hahaha!!
Mom went up with me Saturday morning, we weren't there very long when her best friend Brenda (she has worked at Bennett Springs for several years) found us. She sat down with us girls, enjoying lunch with us and we discovered it was Brenda's birthday. Of course we had to sing!! It was so cool :) Judy, Lisa's Mom pulled in Saturday afternoon, it was nice to visit with her as we hadn't seen her in a long time! Her and Grace ended up going for a nature walk. I opted to stay at camp and read but when they came back, both girls were bubbling over with stories!! Judy looked hot and worn out, Grace looked like she could fall over but I'll bet they would have done it again..LOL!!
There were so many cool memories made this weekend...yep, even with Gary's 'Jethro' belt as he called it. The s'mores being consumed as the smoke blinded me! Or how about all the kiddos playing, riding their bicycles or the sense of security in this very full campsite. It was amazing.
This is definitely God's Country!
