Camping

This past weekend we finally took our first ever family camping trip - Lame, i know... But, we had a great time. We went up about 20 minutes outside of Kamas. We had a great spot at the Duchene Tunnel campground. We had this little portion of the Provo River right in our campsite. It was great for playing around in - and hosing off the messy kids.

A few days before camping, Derek had gotten into a fight with a couple of Hornets & lost... so when we got up camping, every bug, fly, insect or piece of ash floating in the air sent him into a tissy. He'd cover his head & start crying. It wasn't until 48 hours later that he could tolerate the ants... only by telling them "Hi", and that he was bigger than them. The joys!

Here's our Family Picture :)

I worked the Dutch oven like nobody's business... which was good since the coleman stove we had was missing a part & didn't work. We had some great Peach Cobbler & breakfast pizza in the Dutch oven. YUM!
Hailey & Derk had a great time throwing rocks & sticks in the stream & splashing each other.

Everybody loves some s'mores :) Hailey was thrilled to do marshmellows for everyone. She especially liked doing Dave's since he doesn't care if they are scorched.

Derek didn't know how to eat this properly -- He kept licking around the sides.
FILTH! Derek couldn't stay clean - which is a lot to ask camping -- but sticking his hands in the cinders & rubbing them on his face - Oh dear!
We had to strip him down before bed & rinse him off in the river.
