Family Camping Trip

Last weekend we went to Snake Creek for a family camping trip.  Camping with 2 little children is a lot of work, but it still was a lot of fun!  I personally just love being outdoors and by the water.  The first night was a little to be desired as the kids were up at 5:30a.m..  The kids both took turns waking up and crying some through out the night.  They both woke up with colds the morning we left to go camping so they didn't feel good, were in a strange place, and not used to sleeping in the same room.  Makenna some times will wake up and talk herself back to sleep and so she started talking, but Denver thought that was funny so then he started talking to her and they just fed off each other until I said forget, lets get up.  Needless to say they both had several naps because they were exhausted from a short, restless night of sleep!

The first evening Evan grilled supper; we had sweet corn and pork chops for supper.

Denver loves corn and thought it was great to get to eat if off the cob again!

The beautiful view as we drove the boat down the river.

Fishing like Daddy!

Multi-tasking at his finest.  Driving, messing with the fish finder, and fishing.

Mommy and Makenna.....Makenna was exhausted before we got on the boat, it didn't take long til she crashed in my arms and we all were able to enjoy our boat ride and fishing experience.

My boys and their popcorn!

We made Jiffy Popcorn both nights on the grill...I have to admit, it was delicious!

Riding in the boat.

Having a snack.

Both sitting in a seat...a rare-ity!

I just laugh when I see this picture....my little girl who loves to eat!

This picture was taken because Denver tried taking off with the whole bag of chips and I said no, and Dad then said "ask mom if you can have one chip for each hand", as Denver is getting his chip for each hand Makenna turns around and has 3 in one and 1 in the other!  Too funny!

These 2 truly are best friends!

"Not so sure about this getting dirty and not taking a bath....maybe I can clean up myself with the dish soap!"

Sitting in the camp chair while watching Daddy and Denver fish.

Worms!  Denver actually loved getting the worms out to fish with...he typically doesn't like getting "messy".

"Oh I caught a big one!"

This is what Evan and I spent most of the time doing...untangling Denver's line from the rocks going down to the river.

Evan's 2nd walleye that he caught not far from our cabin.

(The first one got away...and this one almost did too!)

Making breakfast...pancakes!

Watching brother fish.

The morning before we left we took Denver down to a kids fishing pond on the campground and let him fish.

He caught lots of little fish...blue gills maybe?  Have to ask Evan, I didn't pay too close attention.

He also caught a turtle who stole his bobber!

Laughing with Mommy while waiting for the boys to get the fishing out of their system for the day!
