Last weekend was Memorial Day weekend. We spent the weekend camping at Mt. Pisgah campground, which was our first camping trip of the year. Violet had Friday off so we drove up in the morning after dropping Zeke off at school to find a spot. We found a nice spot up on a hill and set up the tent before heading back down to get everything and pick Zeke up from school. We found a spot down the road from some friends and the kids spent the day running back and forth. I locked the keys in the car and luckily some friends helped us break into the car. I had put some potatoes on the fire and completely forgot about them while we were locked out of the car. So for dinner we only had chicken sausage. Friday night we had all of our camping friends over for smores at our site.
Saturday we woke up and Mike made an awesome breakfast of bacon, egg and cheese wraps. I realized that Mike is a much better camp cook than I am and that maybe I should let him do all of the cooking when we are camping ;) We spent the morning hanging out at the campsite and walked up to the camp store for some coffee. Saundra came up that afternoon and we hiked through Pisgah Inn's Staff Quarters up to Buck Springs Lodge to spread some of dad's ashes. It was a great hike and the kids did an awesome job. The view was beautiful! That night we went to Pisgah Inn with some friends for dinner and then went to another friends campsite for dessert.
Sunday morning we woke up early and hiked up Mount Pisgah. The kids did a great job. Zeke struggled a little and complained about his legs hurting and I told him that it was okay because my legs were hurting too. I spread some more of dad's ashes at the top and back down the mountain.
After the hike we headed back to break down camp and head home. On the way back to town we stopped at the overlook where we were married and I spread some more of dad's ashes. It was a great weekend. I know that dad would be glad that I was able to spend the whole weekend outside with my family. I miss him a whole lot, but I know that he is still with me.
