Camping Trip

We went on a spur of the moment camping trip this last weekend. Randy called me on Friday morning and said he wanted to go camping. I wasn't really excited about the idea, I had things I wanted to get done over the weekend. But, I went along with it because I thought it would be fun for the boys. Randy's brother Jason and his family went with us. It turned out to be a fun adventure. We found a great, although a little primitive (no bathroom), camping spot. We roasted hot dogs for dinner. That is really the best way to eat a hot dog. We also had yummy s'mores. Needless to say, we used a lot of wipes. The kids had a blast with their cousins. Adam did really good. I carried him in a sling and he just slept. At night we bundled him up and he slept in his car seat. I couldn't believe how cold it got at night. I had a hard time sleeping because I was so cold. It is the middle of June for goodness sakes. Luckily the kids seemed to be warm enough, at least they didn't complain.

On Saturday morning we enjoyed a pancake and bacon breakfast and the packed up. We wanted to go fishing, but we had a hard time finding a lake that wasn't frozen over or that had a shore that wasn't covered in snow or mud. We did finally find a nice spot a Trial Lake. Jacob caught his first ever fish. We go fishing all the time at The Cove, but he has never caught a fish on his own. Jason talked him into kissing it, he said, "It is very slimy." Then Alayna wanted to kiss it too, apparently she thinks it is fun to kiss fish. Nathan had to follow along. Anyone who has ever kissed Nathan knows that he likes use his tung, kissing a fish was no different. You might want to think twice if he ever wants to kiss you. Jacob ended up catching another fish before we left and Isaac caught one. We had a lot of fun. I am really glad that we went, even though we didn't get any work done a home. My honey-do list is getting longer and longer.
