We love to camp!

Joe surprised me and took Thursday and Friday off so we could go camping with the Curry's! We left Thursday morning and headed past Payson to get to some nice cool weather! We got there and set up and it started to poor rain!! Luckily it only lasted for about an hour and it cleared up. Everyone else showed up as soon as it stopped raining.

Tyler was excited to burn his plate after breakfast Friday morning.
Reagan and Joe first thing in the morning.

The next few pictures are all taken by Tyler. He asked me to put them all on the blog to show everyone.

Here is Lance

Stanton

Michelle and Emma

Rob

and his dead Army man he found

After Breakfast we headed to the lake to try some fishing. Tyler only lasted about 20 minutes.

Reagan just wanted to explore

The kids loved throwing rocks into the water... The adults (well the boy adults) didn't like it so much. They didn't catch much.

Lance caught this thing. We are still not sure what it was.

and Joe caught a dragon fly then used it as bate after words.

and that was pretty much all that was caught.

Reagan LOVES to play with my ipod touch. she always asks for "mommy's pod" She plays for hours.

The second day the Johnson's came. The kids loved having so many friend's to play with. I think they played in that same spot for 2 hours.

Abe, Tyler and Otho playing with sticks and fire.

Emma with her dirt drink and stick straw.

The girls! You have to remember Kim Michelle and I had already been camping for a whole night and Myra just got there a few hours before so that is why the 3 of us look a little dirtier.

Joe dishing up the chicken.

Right before we left I realized I cleaned the girls faces often but never touched Tyler's. His hands, arms and legs were disgusting.

By the time we got to Payson to head home our brakes weren't working so well so we had to stop at an Auto Zone and Joe borrowed some tools and bought some new break pads and changed them in the parking lot while me and the kids ate ice cream at McDonald's. Just doesn't seem fair does it. I have the BEST husband EVER!!!
