Our 2007 Spring Break Camping Trip

Hi everyone, we had a great camping trip this weekend. The weather turned out to be awesome, the worst weather was the drive up. The wind was horrible and it made for some pretty stressful driving. But we made it, and by the time we had dinner things were a bit calmer. The next morning Chandler was up at 3:00 AM getting dressed to go outside when we made him go back to bed. Finally, we let him get up at 7:00. It was cloudy in the morning but right after breakfast the clouds burned off and it was a beautiful day. Trenton climbed the mountain early with the rest of the kids until they told him about the wolves and other creatures hiding behind the sagebrush. He never went on the mountain again. Chris, Corbin & Derek pal-ed around all day doing various things triing not to be bored waiting for their chance to go out on the boat. On Friday, it was warm, and they were bored so they thought they would go swimming, not so bright, but fun to watch. The water was about 40 degrees and the dogs were doing fine so how bad could it be. Kristy didn't do much of anything but sit and visit with all the other ladies, she was going to go running with them once until she got stuck on a leisurely stroll throwing rocks into the lake with Trenton and Sarah. Fishing was great but very sparatic. The older boys waited all day on Thursday to go out, and then they had awful luck and didn't catch anything. So they got a promise to get to go first thing on Friday, which they did and caught about 50 fish. They were in heaven. The smaller kids got to go later that day and they had similar success, although with all those kids and dad's helping it was a bit of mayhem. Jon had a perfect time, it was all about the boat. Everyone liked, everyone wanted to go, and he fished every day. What could be better?
