Campin'

We went to Lava, Idaho a couple of weeks ago. Just kind of on a whim, I thought the boys needed to say they did something in July. So I girded up my loins and volunteered to suffer through a night of camping. Yes folks, the things I do to sacrifice for my boys.....

We went swimming at the Olympic public pool. Ick. Another sacrifice on my part. I've never been into bathing with a community and marinating in eachother's ....whatever. But! I persevered. Kevin and Nathan went tubing down the Portneuf river. They said it was pretty intense....


Cameron and I hung out at the end of Lava and waited for them to float by.....



Cameron was a little upset that he didn't get to go with them; so upset in fact that his head swelled twice the size it used to be, swelled up like a balloon.....



After the water activities we headed back to camp....
Kevin set up the tent; I helped too....a little....what a great job, baby!
Like our fire "pit"? Ha! more like a fire cup!
I have cooking bowls bigger than this. Looks like I could build a fire in them at home....who knew?



The camp site was someone's wheat field-turned-profit-maker-porta-potty heaven.



Cameron had a blast on the playground equipment.



Cutie!




The tent is pretty big! Big enough for a pillow fight without involving me....for a bit.
The night for the boys was fine. My air mattress deflated twice in the middle of the night so I was a little stiff in the morning, and got maybe 3 hours of sleep total.....wow, it sounds like I'm complaining but really.... I am.

Here the boys are having breakfast at our picnic table.....what did we have you ask? Muffins! From the night before, when we abandoned camp and drove to Pocatello and went to Perkins!!

Ask me what part of the trip was my favorite. I'd have to say....Perkins!



Nathan was kind of wanting to get back to the camping part..... he's so young.
