We decided at the last minute that we were going to go camping for three days, a staycation if you will since we were technically about 40 minutes away. It was nice to take a break from the day to day routine and just enjoy each other and the great outdoors. Carson had a permanent grin the entire three days, he is totally in his element in the mountains. All the kids fished and fished and fished, Lexie caught her first fish ever. Kevin hardly got to fish himself since he was busy keeping all the kids fishing poles going, and the poor fish never stood a chance. Grandma came and joined us during the day and it was fun to have my brother Cody and his family join us around the campfire and eat smores, as well as getting to know Kevin's coworker Kurt and his family better. A little campfire watching, smores, popcorn over the fire, fishing, swimming, and tons of family fun it was just what we needed.

Popcorn and camping just go together

You guys are always doing something fun! Staycations are the BEST! Your pictures of the kids are darling!
WHERE did you guys go? It looks BEAUTIFUL! I can tell from all the smiling faces you all had a great time. Glad you got to take some R&R.
You're givin' me a hankerin' for the mountains. Your pics are great; I hardly remember the bugs and dirt that come with camping. Looks so fun!
I am glad that you are spending a lot of time together as a family, building those memories that will last. Your kids will love telling stories of this as they grow older and pass on cool stories to their kids. Only in memories are the sunsets as beautiful as in real life.
Too much dang fun!
This looks like so much fun. I love that Lexie caught a fish. How do you make popcorn over the fire? you should really do a class on all the fun things you do. The picture of Carson is so cute. Lools like you had a great time.
I love how far out Lexie is holding that fish! lol SO funny! Where is this? We want to go. It looks great! ~Emily
