Memorial Weekend

We debated on going camping this weekend because the weather wasn't cooperating but were happy we did. It was a great weekend. We went to Cave Falls in Ashton and it hardly rained. The kids found a lady bug and it was great until it "pooped" on Ashtyn. They were very willing to pose and I got some great shots of them in the wilderness being all cute and happy. It amazes me how kids can find things to do with absolutely nothing. They were acrobats, fairies, bad guys, and gold diggers for the day. We also played hide-and-seek which can prove tricky in the wilderness. There are only so many rocks and trees one can hide behind. If you are a cool Dad, you hide on top of the camper where no one can find you until they hike a mountain and see you on the treck down. The first night we camped out, Haylee decided to get sick on us and threw up all over in the camper. We used up all of our water bathing her and getting things cleaned up. (I am sooo grateful we invested in a camper, I can't imagine what fun that would have been if we were in a tent) We went home the next morning since we were out of water and filled up and went right back out again. We went to Twin Bridges this time so we didn't have to travel too far. It did rain the entire day so we spent the day in the camper watching movies and we took a break and went swimming at Heise. Ashtyn and Haylee braved the rain for awhile and perfected the art of sharing a log to stand on. Here is everyone under the awning of the camper trying to stay dry. Brigham found his Tarzan rope and entertained us by yodeling while he whipped around and acted like Tarzan. Anytime you want to go camping...give us a call! We will be ready to go despite the lame weather. It only took a day to get everything through the laundry, glad that is over!

Oh I so wish we would of called you. I was thinking when we drove by Twin bridges on Sunday, "who even camps there" well I guess now I know. I think your kids are the best looking brown eyed babes around! I don't think I am just partial to them either. It looks like you guys had tons of fun!

I am jealous of your camper. I might be more inclined to camp if I had a more comfy place to stay. It looks like you guys made the most of the weather and had a good time. I am looking forward to July!
