Happy Campers

After a crazy start to the holiday weekend, we finally went camping. We were supposed to head up to Big Lake for a long weekend of relaxation, but the strange weather brought snow to Greer and we thought we might have to cancel. Luckily, the Jones' moved camp sites to Roosevelt, so we left a day later than planned and joined the fun. It wasn't quite as picturesque as Big Lake, but Trent finally got his camping fix! The only disappointment for Trent was that he didn't get to fish very much. He was prepared for trout fishing, and at Roosevelt, the selection is bass. Sorry honey, maybe next time.

Ty had a great time. With wide open spaces, I had my hands full. The ant hills and cacti were abundant so I got a work out chasing after him. He was in heaven with other kids to play with and at least 4 lab dogs to chase around.

His first quad ride with Grandpa Dan. Don't worry, they went about 2 mph.

More quad rides with daddy.

Give the boy a ball and he'll stay content for quite a while.

I know, it's pink. But another great distraction.

There were a lot of mad card games over the weekend. This particular game of PIT was nearly volatile, with one player being pushed off the bench.

Our humble abode. One day we'll join the pop up trailer community.

One very tired mama.

Though it was definitely worth the trip, we came home exhausted. Camping with a 14 month old is not necessarily my version of relaxation. If we go again this summer, I think we'll leave him behind with grandma. He loved it, but didn't nap or sleep well and was very curious about everything. Regardless, the company was fantastic, the food was delish, and we'll be back at it again next year...hopefully at Big Lake.

Since we've been home, I've started summer school and Trent is currently Mr. Mom. He has a two week break from school, his last school vacation ever! My mom bought a family pass to Carson pool, so we went for our first summer swim yesterday. Ty could have stayed for hours if we would have let him.
