Camping

Well we had a great weekend camping with family. We went with my brothers, Trevor and Rich, and their families and my sister Heather and her family. Above are some cute pics, Sawyer absolutely loved everything about being outside 24/7. He was really good and we were surprised at how easy he was. He played with lots of sticks and rocks and the beagle Scamper! Most of the kids fished, there were 11 kids 12 and under. There is a pic of his crocs, one is burnt. The night before at the campfire I picked him up and was walking in front of the fire and his shoe flew into it. Everyone was like, "It's a croc, it a goner." But E batted it out with his bare hand! He got a burn on his pinkie. The other injury is Rich's finger in the pic above. You can see a little metal glistening...it is a fish hook that is completely in his finger except this little bit. It was a tri-hook, I believe, and was in there pretty good, everyone had tried to pull it out or cut it out...ew...so he had it overnight and went to urgent care in the morning, but on his return he informed us he was totally a man, got to a gas station with Internet connection on his phone. He figured out he had to cut another hole on the opposite side to get it out, and a lot of ice later, he did. Disgusting.

Here are some pics of the hike we took. First, we took a hike that was very difficult with two 4 year olds, a 2 year old and a 1 year old. There is a pic that kinda shows how steep it was, with lots of rocks all over. Sawyer fell asleep on the hike and there is a cute pic of best friends Morgan and Addie!

Then the boys went repelling, Geoffrey, Rich, Dallan, Ernesto and Trevor. They had a lot of fun, but the last spot they repelled into was a waterfall and cliff...they didn't have an exit strategy. They came back nice and sweaty and beat up, but they had fun!
