Camping

We finally went on our first camping trip of the summer. We went with our good friends to Bear River Reservoir and had a great time!

(The pictures are all out of order, but you'll get the idea)

Tent sleeping! They had no trouble snoozing all night long on their mats. They were snug and cozy!

Ryan was so good! He went to sleep in the tent all on his own! He went to bed before everyone else. I tucked him in, kissed him good night and he went to sleep without any trouble!

Ryan loved playing with Amanda! He was so happy to have someone to dig in the dirt with...I think he is doing a happy dance here!

Justin and Ryan trying to skip rocks!

Having lunch by the lake!

The boys have their sticks and are ready to roast marshmallows!

The kids taking a break from running around in the dirt!

Ryan was so excited to "poley fish"! He would sit on the rocks, I would cast it out and he would reel it back in. On the last day we even gave him a hook and bait! He loved it!

Ryan trying to make his way through the rocky shore!

Travis trying his hand at fishing! He is definitely cut out to be a fisherman....he was patient and content to sit lakeside even though he knew he probably wasn't going to catch anything....the fish just weren't biting. His papa would be proud him!

Ryan and Jeff swimming in the lake! The water was COLD but they both loved it!

The kiddos hanging out at camp in the "throne room".

Justin was so cute! He doesn't have the patience Travis has for fishing and went from trying to catch a fish to trying to catch the 3 inch minnows that were swimming in the rocks right below him. He said to me, "I think it is going to be my lucky day!" while he is dangling his bait (which is practically bigger than the fish) in front of the tiny fish!

Jeff is known for his packing skills, but this was impressive! There wasn't an inch of space left in the back of the car. We certainly don't pack light when we go camping!
