Good-Bye Summer...

It's time to say good-bye to Summer 2013.  We took our bi-annual camping trip with the Carsons, and some additional families this past weekend.  There was much fun & laughter had over those 4 days & 3 nights.  And fortunately for you, I did gather some quotes which made it to our regular "Camping Top 10"...except this time, there was so much good stuff being thrown around that we made it to TWENTY!

I will preface this Top 20 with this--we have some kind of friendship here with these folks.  We all have family by blood who we love & adore. But we also have that "family" that we choose--these folks are part of our chosen "family" and we are so blessed to have them in our lives.  We have known each other anywhere from 10 to 14 years (and in John's case, NINETEEN YEARS).  We're excited that our children are growing up together (and we're growing OLDER together).   Makin' memories...that's what it's all about.  Enjoy!
