We got to go up to Idaho, just east of Preston to camp with Rob and Heather and their family. It's a lot of fun to get together with them. Our families get along so well. Nate and Rob took a lot of the kids fishing during the day both days we were there, Heather, Rachel, Erika, Jack and I held down the fort. Played Garbage, talked, played in the water, even had a fun water fight :). Good times. They caught about 6 fish the whole time we were there. I loved watching Nate smoke the four they caught the first night, on top of the wood over the fire- he really knows what he's doing- it was really good! Didn't even have any real seasonings or foil or anything fancy to cook with. Somewhat reassuring for when the world comes to an end. jk. Bradley caught a fish the next day and cooked his himself and then ate the whole thing himself :). He was pretty proud of it. Why didn't I get pictures of the fish?! Darn it. The kids enjoyed exploring, going on the little hike across the dirt road. Most of the kids said that their favorite part was the little hike we went on up to this big spring. It was really nice and pretty refreshing. I wish Jack could walk a little faster is all :). Poor Hannah and Bradley both rubbed up against the Stinging Nettle while we were there, which- with how much there was around our campground and everything, that's pretty darn lucky. I'm sure they didn't think so. We played Mafia around the campfire, made woofums on their stick biscuit sticks, roasted hotdogs and marshmallows, did our tie dye shirts. Sat around (my favorite part :) ). And just had a lot of fun visiting. We decided this needs to be a tradition for our two families. I'm looking forward to it! 6-1-14/6-3-14
You'll notice this little photo-bomber in many pictures :). Here's Jake :)
The beginning of our hike up to the spring.
I can hear Grandpa Russ singing, "Follow me boys, follow me...." when I look at this picture.
Jake :)
Kelly and Charity enjoyed finding places to pose for pictures :).
This makes me laugh.
Jack kept finding rocks and holding onto them for dear life. this big one was a little more than he could truck around after a while, but he sure tried to make it his!
We love these guys! Stinks that they live so far away.
Luke had fun posing too.
This was Charity and Kelly rapping... almost as good as a video of you scroll fast :)
We played a LOT of cards :). Lots of fun. They introduced us to Garbage and Hearts.
We introduced them to KENT.
What a great picture!
We were lucky to be right next to this little creek, Jack was able to throw rocks in it to his little heart's content.
We all enjoyed playing in it.
Even covered in dirt this face is still adorable.
Erika and Heather really hit it off during this camp out. Heather made a fun game to keep Erika entertained. She wasn't too shy and looked at her and responded, it was wonderful!
now that's appetizing
See! Total buds :)
I think this is one of my most favorite faces of Nates :). Makes me smile.
oh, the hatchet... good times :) HA!
I love that my kids all know how to start fires with the flint and steel.
Another favorite. I LOVE these two pictures of him... they're going to be printed for sure.
These two are hilarious.
