1st camp out of the Summer...

We went up to Lowman for the weekend and had a great time! Things were almost campout perfect- awesome weather, yummy new tin foil dinner reciepes, compliments of Pinterest, great camp fires made by Tristin, the kids made friends with our neighbors who had 4 kiddos, the kids played in the river/ sand and made sand castles which Roman quickly destroyed,we went hiking around our camp, played cards ( which I spent $ 4.00 for because I forgot mine!), checked out other camp sites for future trips and took notes, relaxed for about 30 seconds, got dirty, stayed up late, survived the porta-potties, roasted yummy marshmallows, tried new tin foil treats, cleaned up vomit on the side of the road, enjoyed our first Hot Springs, didn't get bitten by mosquitios, layed in the hammock, told stories around the fire, watched the kids play, giggle and have fun ,and made it home safe! I am beyond exhausted but we got a ton done when we got home too. We organized our shed so all of our camping equipment is all together now! I'm cleaning & washing everything back up as I type, repacking for the next trip and trying to get the 100 loads of laundry done! We had a great time away from home and enjoying nature! (I'm getting better I might add! Although I still had to Clorox the porta potties, handles locks, table & benches- it's just too gross for me! I'm even looking forward to our 4th of July weekend camp out with Todd and Isaac again! We are going back to the frog place which I'm not thrilled about- but more Clorox wipes, right???)

Love all the pictures! Okay, you've inspired me. We're going camping in a couple weeks and I've been semi-dreading it, but now I'm excited again (ish) and I'll have a good attitude about it :).
