We haven't quite figured out how to get to our camping spot before 8 p.m. We are very greatful for a wonderful camping trailer from G'pa and G'ma Baxter that we can just hook up, go, get there, and then only have to worry about starting a fire and eating. As you can see we remembered the ear warmers and gloves, but who needs a coat? Kalli is just finishing off a perfectly cooked hotdog. We love campfire cooking!
Michone is the "card" of the family. Every picture I took of her that night had some similar pose. We love having her as the life of the family. Notice Landon, where is his mother?
Did we have breakfast? Oh, yes, I forgot, my children are growing and inhaling food. I love it. I feel like such a good cook. We did have eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon, thanks to the stove in the trailer. Ashley does not like her picture taken, but we are glad she is part of our family.
Landon and Ryan love to give a good "cheese"!
The kids found this great deer home not too far from our camping spot. We think we can see where they bedded down and they found tracks and droppings not too far from this cool home. From left to right, Landon, Kalli, Michone, leaf (I believe Ashely's legs are sticking out), and Ryan.
Dad and the kids leaving the "cool deer home."
Kalli found some gigantic leaves and a great walking stick. Do you see the skiff of snow? This should have been a type and a shadow of things to come.
The purpose of camping was so we could get started early and get wood. This is our wood truck and where we get wood. Slightly more challenging than other years but we will prevail with an entire truckload of wood! Way to go Dad, or we like to call him Paul Bunyon. Without boots and with all the brush covered it was very difficult for the children to walk on the hills so most of their time was spent making snowmen and catching, loading, and stacking the logs once we got them to the truck. They had great attitudes and I was very proud of them.
This is "Paul" looking for the perfect tree. He has his work cowboy boots on with holes in some of the stitching, brrrrrr!
Thankful to have a great saw to work with!
Kalli with one of her cute creations.
Landon has a whole family of little snowmen. I love the hat on the big one.
Ryan is our next "Paul Bunyon". I don't know where he learns how to do this, but he is good. He is chopping a little limb in half about 18 inches in front of him.
