A few weeks ago we took a little trip out to the wilderness. Ordinarily we would have planned better and gone when it wasn't raining, but we didn't really have a choice. On May 18th Carter and Landon went fishing and Henry and I stayed home. We took Mesa for a walk around town and then headed to Nashua to Pege Sue's Posies for some annuals for my Grandpa Barrel and for a pot for Carolyn's headstone. Mesa hopped in the car and went with us. Pege Sue's Posies is at a farm yard, or ranch, and they always have dogs running around so we let Mesa out to explore while we wandered. Peggy and I headed out back to look at some ornamental grasses and found Mesa laying on the ground. She must have had a heart attack or stroke and died. But what a place to go-a greenhouse. Sounds like a good place to me.

Mesa loved to explore with us so we thought it was most fitting to bury her near one of her favorite places. I threw together some camping/picnic food and a few necessities and we headed here...
It was a little rainy, but nothing a coat couldn't handle. Landon didn't have any matches or a lighter so we had to get creative and use the stove to get a fire going.
They are already drawn to fire. It must be a boy thing.
We had dinner in the rain.
Off to explore.
Daddy had too many s'mores and got a little crazy with the boys.
We have plans to head back out and do some real camping in a couple weeks. It will be our first time in the wilderness overnight. Wish us luck.
