Camping!

So we got up the courage and took the kids camping for the first time and they LOVED it! We did too!

We went to Gooseberry Reservoir and it was beautiful! I haven't ever camped like this before because my Grandparents have property in the Unitas so we always went there, but I really enjoyed this. We were right on the lake, but the only downfall was there weren't any trees at our campgrounds but since we borrowed Brandon's parents pop-up trailer, the awning gave us shade.

This was Lily's favorite thing to do...get drinks from the cooler!

Tyson enjoying licorice! (we had only been there about 20 minutes and we already had to break out the treats!)

In their cute little camp chairs!

Tyson was so excited to go fishing he could hardly contain himself! He emptied out Brandon's fishing bag while "patiently" waiting!

Cute girl! She loved to get dirty!

Tyson was a little more "patient" when candy was involved!

Both kids were so busy the whole time! It was so fun to see them run and play and get dirty and love every minute of it!

Tyson and Brandon doing what they love! (Tyson fishes more like me...5minutes if I don't have a fish I am pretty much done!)

Our little fisherman!

Lily liked to "fish" too! She just liked to put the rod in the water and pull out all the fishing line!

Brandon ended up catching 4 fish (we would have had more, but some got away, Tyson just wasn't quick enough!) One that got away got so close Tyson could see it, so I asked him how big it was and he said..."Mom, you know the fattest man on TV, when it got close, it weighed that much!" It was one HUGE fish that got away!

Sweet little girl!

Saturday morning was so beautiful and peaceful!

Friday night on the other hand was a bit miserable and not because of our kids! Around 12:00 midnight a family pulled in two spots down from us and didn't care that anyone was asleep. They were as loud as loud could be and they never went to bed. We figure it was two families and there was a total of about 12 of them and 2 yapping chihuahuas. Sometimes I don't know what people are thinking...didn't they see the 7 other trailers and think, Hmmm maybe they are sleeping and we should be quiet???!! Not this family! Luckily they were beat by Saturday night and actually slept!

Tyson brought up his HeMan's! (They were Brandon's from when he was little!)

He hid all the "Bad" guys for HeMan to fight!

Another bad guy hiding!

The kids were champs at cooking marshmallows and eating smores!

YUMMY!

With such little kids we did campfire and smores in the daylight!

Lily loved the marshmallows!

Waiting for breakfast!

Ahhh refreshment!

Just before leaving!

Take a look at our crazy Tyson!

We had such a fun time! The kids were great...and nice to each other. (Although, Lily did hit Tyson, so she learned to say a new word... "orry" sorry! It was so cute how she would say it, I almost wanted her to get in trouble again and again so I could hear her say it!)

3 More weeks and we are heading to to Unitas to try it out again!
