We went camping Thursday night and Friday night. We took off Thursday right after the new carpet was laid in the office, halls and on the stairs! I wasn't aware of the rule of thumb for carpet. . . it looks a shade lighter once its laid. Oh man does it look light. A bit pristine for "The Tribe" but very nice and clean! I really do love it and am so thankful to have the old gone. The weather was perfect Friday and we did plenty of hiking. We also took many opportunities to have a fire and of course you can't have a fire without roasting a marshmallow. You can't roast a marshmellow without having a graham cracker and what is a marshmellow and graham cracker without a chunk of CHOCOLATE! S'mores were enjoyed by all (except Abram who was content with the graham crackers). In the middle of the night or early Sat. AM it began to rain so poor Drew packed everything in the rain while I tried to keep the kids dry :-). The camper is still out back drying because the rain hasn't let up since!
