Camping!


We had so much fun camping over the weekend. Tanner was so excited to sleep in the tent and make smores. The kids didn't slow down the entire time. Rylee had her fare share of dirt and had dirty hands and face the whole time and Tanner wanted his face and hands washed the whole time. I love how different they are!

There was this little lake by our camp site so we took full advantage of it. We got the kids some fishing poles and let them go at it. Rylee didn't really want any help, she is almost two after all, so she was just throwing the pole around. Tanner, on the other hand, found his niche. He did so good at casting and was loving it. He is a natural. That made Jimmy happy, so there will be many fishing trips in the future, I'm sure of it. Oh, and no, we didn't catch any fish. Even though the people that were next to us caught a ton. I guess they had better bait. Lame.

It was a challenge just to keep Ry out of the water.

Tan was in a zone.

Ry found lots and lots of treasures. They would always make it to her mouth. Maybe she was just tasting them to see if they were worth keeping!

Always a face maker!

We got a little BB gun action in too. Ry wasn't too impressed.

Tanner was loving it!


Needless to say, the kids had a great time! Oh, and Jimmy and I did too. I could have skipped sleeping on a queen size air mattress with all four of us, but I guess it was better than the ground. It's always fun to go to the mountains and have a little fresh air. Nothing beats a fire on a chilly night. We need to do it more often for sure.

I need to get Ashley and Zach out camping. Zach would love every minute of it. We tried to go once, but it was a rainy weekend.

Looks like something my boys would love! We'll have to give it a try when Brooke wouldn't have to be help ALL the time.

Tanner really is a face-maker. He totally cracks me up!
