Roughin' It In The Outdoors

We have been wanting to go camping with our family and we finally made it work this weekend.  We went up to Pole Creek.  When we got out of the truck, we were attacked by mosquitos. They were really bad.  I took Kate and we went and hid in the trailer. After a while of hiding out, we decided to go fishing with the whole family. 

Preston and Peyton tried to catch a few fish

Kayson  loves fishing like his dad and is getting pretty good at it

This is Tyson fishing.  We couldn't keep him out of the water.

Preston kept making fun of the hat I made Kate wear.  I was just trying to protect her from the sun and the bugs.  But she didn't mind the hat at all.

After a day and a night at the campground, we decided that the mosquitos were too bad and we decided to pack up and move a little lower on the mountain.  We found a really pretty place without the mosquitos.  It was perfect. 

We brought the boys' bikes with us and the new place had a nice soft grassy road for the boys to ride on.  Preston took Peyton's training wheels off and he caught on really fast to the two-wheeler.

After riding bikes, we decided to go for a little stroll. 

After the walk, we hung out at camp.  The boys ran around, Kate hung out on the blanket, and we started our tin foil dinners.  It was really nice and relaxing.Day 3 wasn't quite as nice as day 2.  The wind and the rain came so we all hung out in the trailer.  Here are the boys trying to make funny faces since we were stuck in the trailer.

Here we all are in the trailer.  After a little while being all together in a tiny space, we decided to pack things up and come home.  Dispite the mosquitos, the rain and wind, we all had a great time. It was really relaxing.  Just what we all needed.
