Camping experience

Wow...yea I'm really doin a bad job with keeping up with this blog. Sorry. :/
We had a really awesome time at Sukkot! :D It rained the first day but for the rest of the time it was pretty nice other then being cold during most nights. We had bible studies in the morning, and Praise & Worship w/dance at night. During the day it was mostly free time, sides from prayer meetings, dance class and one day we had a canning class.
Some of our friends were there, and we got to meet some new ones also. :) They had a couple hiking trails there so we went for lots of walks.
Even though its nice to be in my own comfy bed, I really miss the outdoors! It was very relaxing and nice; even if there were a lot of ants. :P
Gideon loved it, he really got better with his walking while we were there too. He loved exploring all the new things, and he was a trooper when it came to the ants, hardly cried at all when they would bite him, and he got a lot of them, poor baby.
Mr. K was extra happy to be outta the city for awhile, now that we're back he really misses the trees that were there.
Another thing I really liked was I hardly had to cook or do dishes there! Matt did most the cooking and cleaning up afterwards and I made sure the tent, car, and picnic area stayed clean and/or organized. AND... He helped change diapers too!! O.O (his least favorite job) it was pretty awesome ;)
Do to the burn ban, we didn't get to roast a lot of our hot dogs but onces it lifted we did have smores several times. :) Since we used marshmallow cream we had to improvise, so the first night we snaked a twizzler on the roasters then dipped it in the cream, but after that we bought 3 marketeers and put them on the roasters instead. It was actually really good both times :) also I had a very hard time not eating the marshmallow cream with a spoon, I just couldn't put it down. It was sad. :P
All in all it was a really great and wonderful time!!! :D

Feast Days

Well as some of you know..and some probably don't know..we keep the Feast Days that are in the Bible-like, Passover, Sukkot, Day of Atonement, Hanukkah, ect.

The ones coming up soon are Feast/Day of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Sukkot. I'm not totally looking forward to Day of Atonement since we fast for the whole day, but hey I think it'll do me some good. And plus I got to keep in mind that it's not a Day for us but for our Heavenly Father. :)
The one I'm really looking forward to is Sukkot; a whole week of camping, its going to be fun! Also we get to go with some friends and a lot of other Believers to a campground for the whole week, its going to be Great! :)

I think Sukkot is definitely one of my favorite Holidays along with Thanksgiving, Fourth of July and Hanukkah! :) 
I enjoy Sukkot mostly when we get to go camping (and not just in our front yard either) and get together with other like minded believers, Thanksgiving cause it brings family together, Fourth of July cuz its in the Summer :P plus we get to do fireworks and sometimes go to the Lake, and Hanukkah because that also brings the family together plus you get to give gifts-which is always fun :D  

Gideon is still kinda young right now so he probably won't remember any of the Holidays/Feast Days that we've done so far or know exactly what we are doing right now, but I'm hoping he'll enjoy them when he gets older as much has he seems to enjoy them now. :)
