Camping

This past weekend we went camping with Grandma and Grandpa Arrington and Uncle Jayson and his family. It was very hot but a lot of fun. The last time we went to this camp site I was pregnant with Emery. This time was a lot better and more comfortable as well. Jacks was tired starting out. I will never understand how they can sleep in the car, it never looks comfy. 

 Grandma bought a hammock and all of the grand kids loved it. 

 Even Grandpa enjoyed it for a few seconds. 

The best part of camping is dutch over cooking. Maybe it's because we have it so little, but I love the food cooked in there. 

 Grandma brought bird houses for the kids to paint and now they are hung up all around our backyard. Now we need to get some seed. 

 

 Grandma taught the kids how to play 21. Jacks was excited when his two cards were good and he was able to tell everyone to "hold us." 

 After a very steep climb the kids got to a very cold river. We had to keep telling them to stay close because the water was pretty swift. It's amazing how much fun throwing sticks into moving water is. 

 Once it became dark we had to have smores. Dutch oven cooking and smores make it a real camp out. 

 The next day we found some hot springs. Going earlier in the morning was good because then it wasn't too hot outside and in the pools. The kids loved that it was so warm in this water after being in the freezing lake the day before. 

We all had a lot of fun but are very happy to be home and clean. Although we did return home to a two and a half hour power outage.
