The Pine Barrens

And a happy belated birthday to Michele. To celebrate her *ahem* years on this planet, friends joined her in a camping trip at Wharton State Forest, down in the Pine Barrens of Jersey.

I also found out that a friend from grammer school is moving back to Jersey, so in honor of her eventual arrival, I am stealing her tradition of a happy list. So here are happy things from the weekend:

Getting to use our big ass tent again
Watching Erin try to get gum off her fingers
Learning the story of Patti's one and only arrest
Napping in a hammock
Getting only a few mosquito bites
Swimming in a tea colored lake
Ca-Caw
Eating food over a campfire, cause it always tastes better than at home
Turning aquantainces into friends, and spending great times with good people.
