Even though I had just gotten back from a week trip to North Carolina Blake wanted to get out of the heat and take a camp trip up north just above Pine and Strawberry! We left Friday afternoon and it rained almost the whole way up - we couldn't set up our tent until around 5PM and then started a fire and ate some dinner. Ashlyn did really well and we had a wonderful camp site that was occupied by about 15 elk as we pulled up. This was the view from our tent

Me and Ashlyn - we had a great time camping and riding the quad
Karsen and Maeley loved to be swung in the hammockMy brother Steve's family joined us during the day on Saturday

So I decided I'm a bad mom, Ashlyn had a hat on a lot of the day but one quad ride we didn't even think about sunscreen (it was a 5 minute ride) and she got her first sun burn - I am happy to report that it was gone the next afternoon but we still feel guilty! Today for Labor Day we are off to purchase a baby gate to keep Ashlyn out of the kitchen and then to our nephew Kyler's 3rd birthday party!!

I am in that same boat! Alyssa has gotten red twice this summer and both times I intentionally didn't put on sunscreen bc I didn't think that we would be out long. Luckily, both were gone in the morning. But, I sure cringed when my husband walked in and saw the redness. Of course, the man that never ever ever forgets sunscreen let me know how important it is!
I totally agree that it has been way too long since I've seen/talked to you. Thank heavens for the internet so I can at least feel like I know what's going on in your life :) I'm off the first two weeks of Oct, so we at least have to plan something for that!
Oh, and Logan got a little burnt in Rocky Point too over the summer, and we had even put sunscreen on him!
Looks like you guys had a fun campout! The weather up north is beautiful! I'm glad we have somewhere close to go to get out of this crazy heat!!
