This weekend Jordan and I took off for the woods. We left Friday right after work and met up with a group of fun ladies: Ashley (Daughter~whom I work with) and Lynette (Mother); Laura (Daughter) and Barb (Mother); Karen (Mother) and Katie (Daughter).
Saturday morning we woke up late, had a great breakfast and spent time in camp and lounging around the creek.
Eventually we all got together and went on a long hike up Stanley creek and to a waterfall.

Huckleberries on our hike!!
After getting back from our hike we all took a much needed swim in Stanley Lake.
Katie and Jordan took our inflatable kayak out on the lake.
CeeCee took her first swim! She was a little nervous but made it out and was so freakin cute!
The plan was to have a fire that night at the lakeshore and eat our dinner there. We brought our chairs from the campsite and a table. The main course was baked potatoes that were wrapped in foil and buried in the sand with hot coals from the fire. They were so yummy! After dinner and sunset, we all sat at the fire and read poetry.
Then after much giggling and laughing there was an episode of skinnydipping by full moon in the lake. :D Finally, a much needed sleep.
We woke up late on Sunday morning. Breakfast was mellow and Karen and Katie took off to get home early. Jordan and I took a swim in the lake and laid in the sun for awhile. Then Lynette, Ash, Laura, Barb, Jay and I all headed to Redfish Lake. Jordan and I took off a little earlier and did some geocaching on our way there. We arrived at the lake lodge which was reminiscant of a 1920s mountain resort. Imagine being out in the mountains with very little civilization about then arriving at a lodge with music, a big BBQ and lots of people of all nationalities playing in the pristine lake. It was really neat.
After a few hours lounging by the lake, it was time for Jordan and I to head home. The drive was very nice and we truly enjoyed this first annual Mother~Daughter campout!
