Library Loot!

Library Loot Instead of creating a new library loot post, I accidentally copy and pasted over my last library loot post.  so this and my April 6th post now look alike.  Oh well . . . This week’s library loot post looks a lot like my last library loot post although it’s all different books. Between that one and this one, I think I’ve checked out every camping, hiking, and Utah travel guide that our library has. We bought a new tent last week and set it up in the yard this week (despite the awful directions). Later it was unusually windy and it blew away three times before we were able to get it taken back down again. We can’t wait to use it for the real deal but hopefully without the wind.

  2. Utah is such a beautiful state. I hope you get to do a lot of camping this summer w/out wind.

  3. We are big campers (at least we used to be before the kids started having sports all weekend). It is so nice being out in the outdoors, with the wildlife and the fresh air. Just remember…always bring about 15 yard sized garbage bags, in case it rains. Because it will when you least expect it!

  4. Hi Natasha–

    I see the camping theme in your post. I live in the Pacific NW and there are a lot of beautiful campsites in Washington and Oregon as well. You should check them out some time!

    Happy Reading!
