1st camping trip--2009

Good old fashioned dirty camping!
At the cabin.

So it's already camping season! We are super excited to be able to look forward to all sort trips--big and small. We got the trailer all ready last week and headed up to Duck Creek. We thought a close-to-home trip would be best for the first one just in case something major didn't work right! It was definitely a big chilly so we spent most of our time surrounding the campfire. It was some true camping and we loved it! It definitely had it's moments (being rained on most of Saturday night with three energetic kids pestering each other!) but for the most part it was a lot of fun. We went with a family that had 4 girls so Brooklynn was in heaven! She was very entertained the whole time and it was great. She is usually so bored with us! Brea and Bubba did great! It's the first year that they can just play with the other kids and just run around. It was awesome. They absolutely loved it. I think I gained like 5 pounds at least just snack, snack, snacking. Trav and Mary came up and were troopers to spend the night in their tent! We offered our couch bed but they toughed it out! They have the camping bug too so hopefully we'll get some more trips in with them this summer. Sunday night we drove over to Panguitch Lake to hang at my aunt's cabin with my aunt, uncle, cousin Ang and her fam. We got to shower (YAY!) and then they fed us. It was awesome! Camping is a lot of work before and after but it's pretty much worth it--I think. . . The laundry pile in my laundry room says otherwise!
