Now that may not see incredibly exciting and luxurious to you, but it's probably my number one favorite weekend of the year. It's the five days I get to spend with my absolute favorite people on this earth: my Kentucky family. My uncle and his cousins (so my second cousins, I believe) started this camping tradition nine years ago where they just met in the middle between Michigan and Kentucky. Ever since, we've just been adding family members to the trip each year. My immediate family didn't start going until about five years ago, but ever since, I can't wait to go back to see them. I guess I never realized just how big my family was!
Plus, I just love camping. There's something about stargazing, bonfires, bike rides, tenting, and lakes that just get me. I wish I could go all the time, but there's jobs and school that tend to interfere with that.. ha, oh well. I guess I'll just enjoy every bit I get!
This year, some of us went on the zip lines and tubing at the local parks. I had never done either of these things before, but they were definitely a good time! I have a slight fear of heights, but I was with a ton of people and the guides were really good about talking me in to just going with it. Definitely a great decision! :]
Tubing down the river with first & second cousins!
Zip lines with my brother, Alex.
1100 ft zip line and 150 ft off the ground. Okay.
"Coming in hot," stopped abruptly by the guide.
Sarah, Alex, and I on the rope bridge!
I love my family so much, and I can't wait until the tenth anniversary trip next summer! <3
