We had a great time for the first camping trip this year. We wouldn't have survived this weekend in a tent it was cold and rainy. The sun poked through enough to enjoy some time by the lake. The kids had a really good time fishing, chalk drawing, running around, sitting by the fire and they were super excited to sleep in the trailer. The fishing was so much better than I thought it would be. Especially Bauer and Kessler they were so into it. There was one time Kessler saw his pole bend grabbed it, reeled in the fish without any help. It was so cute.
My new favorite app on my phone, changing the picture into artist drawings!
The kids loved sitting around the camp fire, next trip teach the kids camp fire songs:)
Bauer probably loves fishing the most out of all the kids. He reminds Ben over and over about waking him up in the morning so he can go with him down to the lake.
The boys made it their mission to make it to the to of this steep hill and against all my motherly instincts I let them try and try again, even though there were many cuts, scrapes and some tears from sliding back down over and over. BUT they finally made it, Cooper wanted to make sure Kessler could make it to the top too and helped him up the whole way.
I was so shocked how big Kesslers fish was. He had a hard time standing up straight trying to reel it in.
I love seeing the boys cross their legs like this it always reminds me of Papa Whidden for some reason:)
This little girl brought the biggest fish in.....again. Our last fishing trip in Flaming Gorge she brought in the last big one. I think she is pretty proud of herself among all these boys.
Cooper doesn't really like the patience you have to have to fish. He kept himself entertained though.
The kids watched Nacho Libre and laughed at all the funny parts I was so impressed they got some of the really dry parts. They also watched the Princess Bride and loved that too. I hadn't realized they had not seen that.

Overall glad we went the weather scared me a little, but it was actually nice being a little bit cooler, we slept really well. So excited for the summer and some really fun plans.
