Camping With The Boys

I guess that in life there are two types of families...Those that camp and those that do not camp. We are definitely in the category of the families that camp! Rick and I were so busy for years that we have not done it as much as we would have liked to but that is all about to change. This summer is the summer that we are going to get our camping grooves back! We went up to Payson lakes to go camping with the boys and had such a great time. Katie and Cam came with us up into the mountains for some outdoor fun. We roasted wieners over the fire, made the must have smores, fished and foraged for fun things for the boys to play with. It was fun to sit and watch the boys play in the tall grasses and play hide and seek with Aunt Katie and Uncle Cam. Rick and Cam set up tents, unpacked sleeping bags and really did all of the "manly" stuff for us all. Fishing was on the brain for Rick & the kids so we went over to the lake to try our luck until dark. Nothing was caught but it was fun to see the boys try to cast & finally get distracted playing with the worms. We ended our night around the campfire while we laughed and talked until about 10p. Sleep came easy for us all (even though our spot was not particularly comfortable to sleep on) after a full day of fun. We broke camp at about 9:30am after the guys fished and headed home for showers. It was a perfect trip and we cant wait to do it again. See our fun below:

Last Joys of Summer

Here are a few Simple Joys of Summer I wanted to get in now that Summer is over and Autumn is in full swing.... We sure miss it!. Our days are now full of fall leaves, a little snow, plenty of cold weather, and school. The simple carefree fun seems to be over. Just to warm us up I wanted to remember these Fun images I caught of this summer. It was a great time! Sure wish we could squeeze just one more water day in now that summer is all over.
