Camping!


My sister Mindi my boys and I and my Nephew Parker.


So we finally got our camping in for the summer, this past week. The boys were so excited they have been looking forward to it all summer. We went up to a beautiful place near the rim, it was so green and there were a couple of tree swings around. We like to go camping where there really is no one else around, so it was nice and secluded.

We always go with my family, so last Monday my sister and I loaded up our kids in my car and headed up to the mountains, to meet my parents and a couple of my brothers. My parents were nice enough to let my sister and I sleep in their camper while they roughed it in a tent. Even though I got to sleep in the camper the beds are as hard as rocks, and being 6 1/2 months prego they felt even worse. So after the first night of not being able sleep we went into Payson and I bought a king size 4inch thick memory foam mattress. Needless to say $170.00 later I did sleep much better the rest of our trip. Although I don't think Dave was to happy about how expensive it suddenly was to go camping. But he wasn't there to really stop me so the pregnant lady won out.

The boys spent the days shouting air guns, Beebe guns and going hiking. We found this cute little fort that looked like Eores house and so then we had proceed to find Poohs , piglets, and Rabbits house. None of the other houses were quite as impressive as Eores though. But hey it's just a good thing that kids have an imagination. Ty learned how to ride his bike with out training wheels while we were up there, he is so proud of himself, and I don't blame him. It rained almost everyday that we were there for about an hour it was nice, I love the smell of wet pine trees.



They were always on the swings!

This was Eores house!



Ty was able to find many ways to swing in a hammock!


This my other Nephew Sammie he loved playing in the dirt!


On Thursday Dave and my Brother in law Nate came up to finish out the week. Let's just say they are not so much into camping so by Friday afternoon they were ready to go home. But we made them stick it out until Saturday. Dave couldn't wait to get home and shower, and I guess after five days of not really getting a decent shower I kinda smelled to.
Needless to say after a very fun time we were ready to come home, I was so ready to sleep in my own bed and finally get a good nights sleep.
