So we get to the spot up on a hill by Gunlock in the trees.

Here is Bruce cooking some deliscious cobbler
dinner was really good to-despite all the bees--no one got stung
they were not aggressive bees.

we even took our own toilet.


Campfire songs!




Our camp!




Bruce putting up the tent.




Kids trying to help put up the tent.


Jacob thinking how much he wants to climb this tree.


Being lazy.


Telling stories, Jacob got up and walked into the bushes,
then we all of a sudden hear a blood curdling scream
from the bushes as Jacob comes running out as fast as he can.
We thought for sure it was a snake.
Just a medium sized triantula--Jacob is terrified
of spiders--so Bruce chased it into the bushes,
then we are eating by the campfire and
here comes something--

The same triantula crawling by the kids camp chairs.
Jacob again screams bloody murder--after about 1/2
hour we got him to at least go near the thing.
After we went to bed the wind blew all night and no one got any sleep.
We woke up the next morning and as we were taking the rain fly off
the top of the tent about 30-40 daddy long leg looking spiders were under the
rainfly and crawling all over the tent. These were not normal spiders
Their legs were hairy had stripes on them and their legs were a bit longer than
daddy long legs. The kids said that next time we go camping we should take
a trailer or not go at all, mommy thinks so too:)
