along with all of Quinn's brothers and sisters (except for Cade who lives out of state) so there was no shortage of kids. When I say 'no shortage of kids' I mean there were fourteen kids. Some of whom are growing into adults at an alarming rate. I had to double take when I saw Weston climb behind the wheel of his father's truck and drive to the lake. Wow. It made me feel really old.
We had an awesome time.
To say the kids had fun would be a gross understatement. The kids had so much fun. The played in the dirt, rode bikes, played in the dirt, threw rocks in the river, played in the dirt, waded in the stream, played in the dirt-- did I mention that they played in the dirt??
To sum it up: they went to bed every night after 10:00 pm filthy and full of sugar.
Here is my handsome hubby setting up our tent.
Throwing rocks into the lake is very serious business.

Even after 3 days without a shower (I did take a bath in the freezing stream-- does that count?) and 3 nights on an air mattresss in a tent I was really sad to go home.
But not sad to use a flushing toilet, take a shower, and sleep in my bed.
I have a love hate relationship with camping too. Love the laid back you are supposed to get dirty attitude. Hate the note being able to get clean if you want too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you guys had fun.
I know that feeling so well! I called our camping this weekend "shower/flushing toilet appreciation week". Although, I was lucky to have a heater and fridge during my camp out :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like lots of fun!

ReplyDeleteThat is a good looking dude setting up that tent. Did he come with the tent or was he extra?
