For this week's Friday High Five, I thought I would share some of the things I learned at camp this week.


Taking time to stop and actually look a the sunset is refreshing and spirit renewing. Especially when it is not raining.




I love pictures where my husband is actually smiling. His sister and her kids came to camp for the day and we went on a little hike around the lake. It was so fun! We found these big boulders and took this awesome family photo.




No matter how old I get I just can't seem to get enough butterflies. They are so pretty and the fact that they get to morph from their old self and turn into something new shows us the promise of change.




Though I will admit to all of you, I don't enjoy sleeping in the woods, I still find the forest a wonderful place. As Disney would say...there's something enchanting about being in the words.

Other things I learned over the course of the week include:

• Geese wake up very early. They are louder than most alarm clocks.
• The harder I try not to have to pee in the middle of the night the more likely I will have to pee multiply times.
• I should sit by the fire with my family more often.
• It is true...I am a fair weather camper and my spirit is affected by the weather. Thankfully we only had one late night storm and the days were all pretty.

Jenners at Life with a Little One mentioned this great photography blog called Lisa's chaos. Every Monday she hosts Macro Monday.

She challenges her readers to share photos of things that have been photographed close-up.

Until Jenners mentioned Lisa's blog, I hadn't ever visited. Wow, Wow, and WOWIE are the only words I can form. Someday I hope to take pictures like Lisa's.

If you haven't visited, be sure to stop by. You won't regret it. If you decided to participate in Macro Monday, link me your photo. I'd love to see it.

This is my first attempt at playing along.  This is a lucky shot of a random flower picture I took in my yard this summer.

Stop back tomorrow and find out how I did on my to do list.  If you are a regular visitor, I'd love to hear your honest feedback on the blog makeover.
