Camping


OH A CAMPING WE WILL GO!! This trip was soooo much fun. Even though we went camping at the busiest time of year, we got the best spot and it was peaceful. Well, as peaceful as it can be with six monkeys. We were very fortunate to have our wonderful friends join us. When those six boys get together, it's non stop action. Everyone needs to click on Tara's blog to see more too. She takes much better pics (I borrowed a few because my camera battery died) and she's more interesting anyway.
Around the campfire cookin' beans and eatin' s'mores. Tara is toasting coconut covered marshmallows that went awesome with Hershey's special dark for a gourmet s'more. Million dollar recipe right there!

The park is nothing but prickly pear catus and Spring Valley Gneiss (pronounced NICE) stone. It's very beautiful.

This was the first time we took all the boys fishing. (thanks to grandma for providing all the gear) They had so much fun and surprisingly had more patience then I expected.

This is the very FIRST fish that Brent has caught in his whole life. It was a sunfish, and he threw it back, not realizing he could keep it. Oh well.

After camping at one park we went to another state park with beautiful waterfalls all over the place. Nothing like water and rocks to bring out the best in boys too.

I am strong!

I am wet!

I'm too cool!

Our wonderful friends KC, Tara, Zach, Ben, and Alex.

I can't wait until we go again. I need to hurry before I get too big. Feel free to come and camp with us!

Hurray for camping! The weather is perfect for it right now! It looks like you guys had a blast. We're counting down the days to finally going on our first camping trip this year. As soon as Jerry comes home, we're off!

Man, I wish the campgrounds in Indiana looked as cool as that. It is 30 degrees here, I want to be in the warm weather! Miss you guys.
