On our way out

They had to get one last climb in before we left in the morning. I think we found yet another hobby they like.

Too bad we couldn't stay longer, I had to get home and get ready to go back to work, oh the joys of that.

Where did he go

Yogi was not liking the fact that PJ would walk away from camp. He would stretch out as far as could be and try to keep an eye on him. Yogi was not sure of the camping trip at all, all the noises he would hear it took him a long time to relax but when he did he sleep at my feet in the sleeping bag and didn't move for a long time, longer than home. He was a good watch dog and alerted us when he heard a deer. He didn't bark he would whine and look in the direction it was and want to chase it but eventually the deer walked by our camp and off it went and Yogi settled down.

Dinner time, Something NEW

We thought we would try something new. You take crescent rolls and wrap them around hotdogs, and cook. It took us a few times to get it and realize that the roll takes at least 15 minutes to cook all the way and if your not careful it will slide right off and into the fire. We love new experiences and challenges.

Notice Jacob is not wearing shoes and has no pants. Again another one not being prepared. His shoes were soaked and muddy from falling into the water so we were drying them by the fire. When we told him to put warm clothes on he came out in his swim shorts and sweatshirt. He thought only having a sweatshirt would be good enough. He learned and will bring warm clothes the next time we go camping.

Lake

Exploring around the lake as a family

Little walk

We decided to go on a little walk, which was more like a hike. It was beautiful where we were. The weather was nice and it was fun to be together as a family.

We had to walk across this log or get our feet wet. We did great on the way over but on the way back, Jacob fell off the log and landed into the water. Soaked head to toe, mud everywhere. As he laid there in shock, then finally got up and start crying the rest of us were laughing hysterically. I know we shouldn't have laughed but the look on his face was hilarious. Besides its just water he'll dry. We have towels back at camp and its not biggie.

This is the after shot of him falling into the water. And a few minutes later realizing when Rob had put the towels away instead of in the truck how long of a night it really was going to be. Rob kept saying, Dad just said grab the towels I thought he wanted me to put them where they belonged in the cupboard. I am so glad this was just a one night trip.

I was the only one injured on our walk, my leg brushed up against a fallen tree and the branches went straight into my leg. That is when we realized we left the first aid kit at home. Again we learned alot about how unprepared we really were. Its hard to see but I had some really deep slivers and they were painful. Still glad we went camping though.

Last minute trip

So here we are Sunday evening and PJ says did you know that it is the meteor shower right now at night. I said nope, he says we should go camping and see the shooting stars. So we load everything up and head out for a one night camp over. We have yet to go camping as a family this year or really in many years. I have sorda been banning them due to it hurts me to sleep on the ground. We arrive at camp and set things up. There was some controversy on what type of not to tie and thats how it started.

Roy explaining to me why he can't cooperate with his brothers.

Rob is having a great time already.

 We even brought Yogi with us. He was quite excited.
