Camping

CAMPING...so the girls and I decided to go camping. To be safe we went in the picnic area below grandma and grandpa's house. It was perfect. A running stream to put our drinks to get cold, a fire pit, a grill, lots of firewood and plenty of shade..... oh and a real bathroom about 50 yards away. We had a blast . Before we could even set up the tent we had to watch a World Cup Soccer Game. The last game for the U.S. then I promised the kids no more electronics, just real camping. So we set up our tent, threw our drinks in the creek and made tinfoil dinners. We had lots of visitors when we started cooking smores.
The next morning we went on a huge hike that ended up being 5-6 miles. We were hiking up in the mountains looking for the spring. The girls were troopers and didn't want to stop. Camry saw our first snake and squealed. I told her if she see's another one to just back away slowly and try not to scream. About 5 minutes later....guess who was screaming and running....ME! They had a great laugh. Later that night the girls were picking up sticks for our fire and came across a huge snake and a weasel.

Later that day we rode the 4 wheeler, the girls played in the creek while I relaxed and then we had a hotdog roast that evening, topped off with more smores and more company. Fun times!!

Chillin out by the fire.
