Spring Break Camping

Just like last year, I tried to make Spring Break really fun for Caleb since it's a whole week off of school! We had something fun planned every day.

Clayton and Kara visited during Spring Break and stopped by our house on Wednesday.

 Caleb was so excited to play Dominion with the adults on Thursday night! He's quite good for a 6-year-old.

We made plans originally to go camping Thursday - Saturday, but the weather didn't cooperate. It was going to get down to 39 Thursday night, so we opted for Friday/Saturday camping. We had a great time!

Clayton and Kara joined us for Friday day. We roasted hot dogs/chili dogs for lunch and s'mores

We did some hiking Friday afternoon and ended by a creek, where the little kids ultimately ended up playing in the water in only their underwear! There were several other people swimming in it, which was part of the lure for all our kids to join in as well. Although the water was pretty cold, the kids had a lot of fun.

They were just going to "wade" in the water...it didn't last too long.

Bryson had a great time. There were lots of dogs and birds for him to point out.

Carter enjoyed finding sticks to play with.

Caleb and Dallin had a lot of fun together. Ever since moving took my sister and I in two different directions within our city, we don't see each other nearly as often. The boys miss it!

We did stew and cobbler for dinner and dessert that night, then attempted to play games after the kiddos went to bed. Some fell asleep better than others. 

After a miserable night's sleep, Saturday began with hot chocolate, pancakes and bacon.

 Later we looked around the nature center in the campground.

There were some swings on the campground, which was a fun activity for the kids.

We had lots of fun playing Frisbee before cleaning up camp and heading home.
