First Camping Trip of the Year

 We finally made it out camping!  The sad thing, we were suppose to be going to St. George with Nate's family.  We had so many fun things planned and it all went away with one game of baseball.

I'm sorry to say that I'm a little glad it didn't happen though.  It would have been so HOT!  It was hot here.  We ended up going to Vernon because Nate had already taken the time off to go camping, the trailer was ready and we were packed.

This picture is for Nate.  He wanted to show how we were able to make the canoe work.  He can't wait to take it again.  Neither can the kids.

This is how it was when it was hot.  The boys were reading, Norma was goofing off and Katy was talking on the phone. :0)

One of the kids favorite parts of camping was going out in the canoe.  Nate would take two kids at a time.  They loved it!

Katy was so cute!  She was posing for these pictures!  I love this one with her dimple!  She is amazing!

Here is everyone getting ready to go fishing.  The kids are bad luck.  They have never caught a fish. Never.

These kids crack me up!  "Mom, take a picture of our antlers!"

Waiting for Dad to get the fishing poles ready.

Katy did not like being strapped in the stroller.  It was so rocky, she was in Heaven!  "Rock! Rock!"

LOVE THIS PICTURE!

The butterfly nets were a big hit.  Katy is a big copy cat right now and she would be two steps behind everyone, catching bugs and juniper berries.

We let the kids go for a hike.  We told them to go for 20 minutes and then turn around.  It was about 30 minutes later, and we heard them yelling because they could see the camp.  They were on the other side of the mountain.  Then all they could talk about was taking Mom and Dad with them.  So..

We went UP the MOUNTAIN!  I swear they were trying to kill me.  It was straight up the mountain! Then it was straight DOWN the mountain.  I got some cool pictures though.

This is how Katy hikes.  In Daddy's arms.  Just chillin'.

Can you see the little stand of trees there in the middle.  That is our camp.

Norma loved hiking!  She wanted to go again and again and again and again...

Love my little Squeaker. :0)

This picture is also for Nate.  Our dinner.  It was pretty good.
