Camping

We decided that this summer we are going to try and go camping several times. This was our first trip and kind of a trial run. Only one night so that if we forgot anything important hopefully we could survive without it. Of course the only reason you take kids camping with you is to put them to work right?



Since we forgot to take any food with us we figured the boys could shoot us some dinner.





As you can see dinner wasn't to concerned I think that he realized that as long as he didn't move he didn't run any risk of getting hit. The boys decided that they liked him better as a camp mascot and named him Kevin.



Next we tried to convince the boys that they could catch fish with their bare hands if they really tried but they just kind of rolled their eyes and walked away. But this little stream that ran right through our campsite was still pretty to look at.




The boys were a little surprised at my secret ingredient for camp cocoa. But they decided that they liked it anyway.



The Beyer's also heard the call of the wild and joined us after Aunt Sam got off of work. It was a good thing that they did also cause Jakson was always handy with a flashlight so that we could all see what we were doing. Notice in this picture he was shining his light onto the fire to make sure that everyone saw it and no one fell in.



Enjoying more camp cocoa.




Aunt Sam came and got my camera early in the morning to get this picture of a local moose that stopped by for a visit he is a little hard to see but he is there.



We had a great camping trip it was a lot of fun and next time I have to remember to charge my camera battery before we go so that it will last for the whole trip. Oh and we will also have to remember that the kids aren't very accomplished hunters yet so we better remember to take our meat with us.
