Hank woke up Friday morning and said, "Hey do you want to take the kids to the Hot Springs?" Sounded like fun, so I checked into it and found out that they have a lodge there with rooms to rent and they also have cabins. They were all sold out for that night, but they had a few campsites left. CAMPSITES??? Me, sleep on the floor of a tent? Princess and the Pea hasn't done that for many years. For some reason, I felt up to the adventure. So we (me, actually) spent the day getting packed up and preparing foil dinners and baking cookies. My grandmother taught me you can never go camping without homebaked cookies. Hank came home from work about 4:30 pm and we were on the road by 5:30 pm.
This is the footbridge that goes across the River. Our campsite was on the other side, so we had to pack all of our stuff into these big huge carts and walk it all over the river and through the woods.
Hank got the tents up and the fire started. I took the kids to the Hot Springs pool. (Hmmm. That doesn't sound very fair, does it?) I think Hank was secretly glad to have all of us out of his hair for a little while.
