Copper Falls Camping Trip

We spent the past weekend (plus Friday) camping at Copper Falls near Ashland, WI.  Dave's dad grew up in Ashland and his Grandparents lived there on and off throughout their later years; it's also where their ashes are buried.  We've been wanting to go visit Grandpa and Grandma Reed's gravesite for a while now and decided to make a camping trip of it.  It was a beautiful weekend with nearly peak fall colors and temps in the upper 70's.  We know they were there with us, as they are every day.  We were able to have lunch with two of Grandma Reed's sisters and their husbands, her  brother and his wife, and her niece.  They are such wonderful people and we enjoy keeping in touch with them as we know they miss Grandma and Grandpa every bit as much as we do.  It was also our first camping trip in our new camper and we couldn't be happier with it.  It was a beautiful weekend and everyone had a great time; the girls told us that they can't pick a favorite part because all the parts of the weekend were their favorite. 
 Friday morning, first breakfast in the new camper
 Madi and Carter having a serious talk around the campfire:)
 Wy just lounging by the fire
 The kids making some beautiful pictures
 Ready for a little hike
 Cute cousins on a log
 We thought the reflection of the colors in the water was soooo pretty!
 Camping is hard work!
 Like father, like son
 I just love this picture of my two favorite guys:)
 The kiddos trying out the cinnamon rolls we made over the campfire
 Wy playing in the water fountain at the park; I think this was all the kids' favorite thing to do
 Madi leaving her mark on the fire ring
 Such a good big sis; he loves her so much!
 So pretty!
 Ready to go see the falls
 So beautiful
