A Camping We Will Go....

We attempted to go camping at the beginning of June - that did not work out so well. It started raining on our way up to the campsite, so that was a bust. We decided when we got home that we were going to try again. So, we went camping at the beginning of August. We have been up to Carter Lake before, and because of that, and it being Carter's first camping trip, we went there again.


Our campsite was great this time. We were on the end of the drive, so we had TONS of space for the kids to run around. Also, right down from our site was a sandy beach. It was a great spot.

The kids "helping" Daddy start a fire.

Yummy S'Mores!


We went for a hike on Saturday morning, and Haylee walked the entire way! In total, she probably walked a mile and a half total!

While on our hike, Haylee found a caterpillar. She named him Harry, and kept him in her bug container.
She carried him the whole way back, and we told her that she could keep Harry until dinner, then she had to let him go so he could go back to his home for dinner. Unfortunately, it was so HOT that day, and we forgot to move Harry into the shade, that Harry went up to heaven. Haylee handled it so well saying, "oh well, Harry's dead, yep, he's dead".

Carter LOVED playing with my pony tail, and about 5 minutes into our way back to the car, he was asleep.

After nap time, we headed over to the swim beach...the water was a little chilly when we first got in, but felt GREAT after that. The kids had such a good time playing in the sand and getting all dirty!

We all had such a great time camping. Next year, we will venture out away from Carter Lake and try some more secluded camping (nothing too extreme yet! Carter isn't big enough to backpack his gear in yet.)

  3. When we choose to do the opposite of nothing, then we can do something to help others and
    make a difference. Just last year Apple sold more than one hundred million i - Phone and i - Pad apps.
    Most video game testers reported that their salary falls between $15,000 and $55, 000 in a year.

  4. No longer does a music lover need to bother about traveling out
    of range when a fantastic song comes on over the vehicle
    radio. This means that everyone in the whole wide world can access this new kind of radio and you
    are assured that the programs as well as the list of radio stations
    you are listening to are all automatically updated. Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar:
    The Duke Red Matter (Part One; CBS, 1956)'Abbott Stables's Duke Red is
    a thoroughbred destroyed over a serious injury in an accident,
    and Dollar (Bob Bailey)'asked to review a $65,000 insurance claim on the horse'smells trouble when the
    stable's business manager is dismissed after filing the claim, and its veterinarian may have destroyed the horse a little too swiftly.

  5. a Bruce Lee workout includes stretching, bending, running, dipping, kicking, jumping, traditional muscle building exercises, weight lifting, rope skipping, medicine ball handling, etc.
    Anyone who dares to make a closer inspection will find the underlying difference.

    Then leave it a while until your tummy lets you know that you're hungry again before opting for a healthy snack.

  6. Once you have the centers prepared, there are a number of ways to decorate the outside.
    Couples only fool themselves if they think guests only care about the cake.
    If desired, embellish the cake pops with nuts, sprinkles or other decorations.

  7. If, at the end of this time period, the score
    is tied, there are two options the officials can take.
    Just last year Apple sold more than one hundred million i - Phone and i

  8. This is more important than ever in a world where there are
    dozens of different audio formats. Often, long term schedules with a
    bit of breathing room work best. What s more is that 2G phones can come in a
    tinier and slimmer package, even its batteries.

  10. Similar to the cue ball that is shot in pools; this game involves coins and strikers that
    are essential to play carrom game. All spaceship game leveling systems
    are designed slightly differently, but there are some general
    concepts that apply to all games in this genre. For the purposes of this game, a "set" is at
    least three cards of equal value such as three Jacks or three fours and
    a "sequence" is made up of at least four cards that are of the same suit and run
    sequentially such as three, four, five, and six of spades.

  11. I have interviewed a few parents to attempt to understand what
    their true objection is with their child playing video
    games. Caution: when a hole is made in a can,
    there may be metallic edges that can cut one's mouth. This classic game integrates all-out entertainment with vocabulary enhancement in one amazing game.
