Camping Oct 2014

We went camping with the Stephan's (Kyle, Victoria, Fox, Ryker, Bellamy) over General Conference. Chow, Phoenix and Eleanor came over Saturday and stayed for awhile. It started out stressful because the camp ground wasn't what we thought it was going to be like. We couldn't find a parking space and we had the dogs with us which usually makes everyone a little stressed out. Once we found a spot and got settled in it turned out to be a great weekend. The dogs were annoying at first but actually got calmed down pretty quick. We grilled some meat, made some foil dinners, Victoria made some yummy desert in the dutch oven and we made cinnamon rolls in an orange peel. The kids had fun playing. Annabelle just loves Fox. She mostly just followed him around. Weston had fun playing in the dirt with the boys and running up and down the dirt road. We spent a good hour doing water paint while some took naps. I was surprised how much they enjoyed that activity while camping. The kids were very dirty by the end of Sat night. Since the showers were a little shady we decided to give the kids a bath outside using a tote and just dumping water on them. Annabelle did great! We made sure to bundle them up really nice and stick them by the fire. We headed home Sunday morning. It was a great trip and I can't wait for next year to do it again. My goal is to not get stressed out in the beginning!!
