Camping at Hope Valley



Recently, the camping bug bit Roland, so he had to get out into the woods for some respite. After work one Friday he drove home to help pack the car and the kids and head out in search of a campsite near water. We hit the jackpot when we found this secluded spot in Hope Valley next to Scott's lake. We arrived just in time to set up camp and take in a little hike before sunset. Maple got so dirty it was even up her nose as you can tell by her "Quasimodo" photo. I used the relaxing time near the campfire to perfect the art of S'more'ing. Overall our family jaunt to the woods was a camping success and we look forward to the next getaway.
