Another campout...

The weekend before last Lars took the boys camping. We were all maybe going to go, but he and Ashton decided to first take the trailer up and look for a spot, then call us and we'd head up to meet them. At some point I decided that I really was not motivated to camp (it was the day vacation bible school ended), so I figured Gunnar, Kelli and I would just drive up for dinner and stay awhile then come home and sleep in our own cozy beds. So after Gunnar and I took a nap, we got ready and headed to the grocery store. On the way Lars called and said they were still (3 hours later!) driving around looking for a camp spot. At this point it's raining pretty hard. So he said they were going to go one more place and look, then call us back. I'm thinking oh well, they'll probably just come home and maybe pop the trailer up in the driveway and camp there...darn :) And we won't even have to go up there.
No such luck.
About a half hour later, he called and said they'd found a spot. Not a nice one, but good enough...so I tried to say "okay well, let us know how it goes...see you tomorrow." But that didn't fly. They wanted pizza delivered, so Kelli and I loaded up Gunnar and stopped off for pizza and headed up to find them. At this point it's almost 8:00. We found them without any problem and it was a pretty crappy spot, but the boys didn't care. Camping is camping to them. So after we ate our pizza... I talked Lars into letting Gunnar stay with them. I hadn't brought anything for him but diapers, so he just put on some of Ashton's clothes to sleep in and was so happy he got to stay and camp with the boys!Love this face :)Bye Mommy! And I was so happy at the idea of actually sleeping in on Saturday morning!!! And it was so nice...I did till 9:00! Then Kelli and I went for a nice long peaceful walk, got ready for the day and headed back up the canyon with taco time and smoothies for lunch.
The boys slept well...at least the little ones. Daddy, not so much. Sorry hun...thanks again for taking them both! And just think, now you know it's possible!!
We went for a short hike......then let the boys play in the river for a little while,...then packed up and headed home.
