Camp fires and Tents

We had such a fun time camping with my brother Steve's family and my parents even came (total shock)! The kids had a great time and the weather was amazing... some went fishing and also swam in a creek on the way home (it was only about 2 feet deep and yes my husband had to swim). We all got tiny sun burns and I'm looking forward to another camping trip soon.


Karsen, Kensi and Maeley


Weston, I forgot a hat to keep his head warm at night so I used a pair of Ashlyn's clean under wear (thanks mom for the idea it worked great)... he slept ALL night!


The men


The camp


The Queen and her princess (that's what Ashlyn calls us) Daddy is a King and Weston is a little king - I'm trying to help her understand he's a prince...


The kids couldn't get enough of the hammock



The girls


The lake they went fishing at


Ashlyn was NOT a fan and wouldn't touch it (they released it because of it's small size)



The fun creek had lots of crawdads and tiny fish



it was so cold, he's pretty crazy


Steve fishing down stream !

Kadee and Chloe came too, she was so awesome and brought a 2 month old and she did great! Thank heavens for travel swings...

That's daring of you to go camping with little ones. I haven't attempted that yet. Love how you used clean panties as a hat- priceless. BTW, you look great, Andrea! Way to go on the weight loss.
