First Camp Out of the summer!

The weekend before last we went camping with Lars' family and a bunch of other people at Old Folks Flats in Huntington canyon.

It was a great campground with a huge group spot that we camped in. We were lucky and Nana, Papa, Aunt Shelley and Uncle Mat took care of all of the food! Wow what a difference when you don't have to worry about that...we just chipped in our share, so nice! Thanks you guys :)

 Anyway we had a good time...we got up there Friday afternoon and camped that night and Saturday night. Saturday morning we got up and went for a fun hike over to the ranger station. It was 1 mile each way. The boys did great. Lars had to carry Gunnar on the way back, but he hiked the whole first mile stopping to collect lots of sticks for the fire :).

Ashton and I hiked back together and he talked non-stop as usual...he is so funny, at one point he told me he was SO tired and was just getting too old for stuff like this :)

 Lars and I also got to go fish the river for a little while both days, while the boys stayed at camp and played with Hunter.

We caugth lots of little fish, and at one point on the second day a huge beaver swam right by my leg as I was standing in the water! It was fun to get out and fish!

Saturday night we had a big pot-luck Father's Day dinner and even more people came up to eat. Then we had a horse-shoe tournament, that Hunter and his partner ended up winning :)

Half of the fun of camping is the fire...the boys can't stay out of it!

Oh and of coures S'Mores :)

 At dinner Saturday I noticed the hamburger Ashton was eating was pretty red inside, but he ended up finishing it mostly. Well at 1:30 in the morning I woke up to Lars yelling..."Ashton just threw up in his sleeping bag!" Poor kid...then he went on to throw up 6 or 7 more times out the tent door. I felt so bad for him it made me cry...he just kept moaning and saying his stomach hurt SO bad           :( Then he finally said he had to go to the bathroom and after that he said he was fine and went right back to sleep for the rest of the night. What a night! We figure it must have been food poisoning to go through him that quick and none of the rest of us ever got sick. Not fun to have a sick kid while camping!

All cozy before bed...

 Sunday was Father's Day...we got up and ate breakfast, then got all packed up to head to Price. The boys started their soccer camp there the next day....
