For the Memorial Day weekend we went down to Fish Lake to camp. Let me just tell you right now that camping in a tent is NOT my idea of fun. But I do think it is important for families to do outdoorsy things together. (Next time~ WE WILL BE IN A CABIN!!)
We arrived early afternoon, set up camp, gathered firewood and then went to Bowery Haven for dinner.
After we were full of fattening food and cherry pie with ice-cream, we headed back to our camp to build a fire and have...more food. It just isn't a camping trip without roasted marshmallows and S'mores.
It was finally time for Izzie to go to bed, so Erick and Ethan went for a nature walk and I laid down with the munchkin. She had a hard time settling down, with it being so exciting and new in a tent...
I never sleep very well when I'm camping.. especially with a "wiggly Magoo" at my side, or should I say IN my side...when I finally started dozing off, I heard the thunder and rain, no, it was snow. I had visions of waking up to a foot of snow, after all, it was Fish Lake. But it was my lucky day, there was only a skiff. But boy, was it cold! All morning long it snowed off and on, so we packed up our camp and headed for home.
Before we went home we had to stop at Twin Creeks to play on the cool tree roots and look for the spawning fish.
I love spending time with my cute family!
