So...I used to love camping. It was a past time that Ryan introduced me to when we started dating and we have alot of fun camping memories that we share together. But camping with little kids is a whole other story. You have to deal with peeing/pooping out in the woods, making meals outdoors which the kids won't even eat other than chips and smores, skipped naps, going to bed late, waking up early, the heat, the DUST, the snakes, the messiness, Reid licking his dirty fingers and getting dirt in his eyes, and so on. It usually takes alot to convince this momma to go through such extreme measures. But in this case it took about two cocktails and I was game - thanks to Ryan. So we packed up our three-person tent for our family of 5 and went out to Williams for 2 days of camping. And it turned out to be just as hard as I imagined :) The payoff = seeing how much fun the kids had! They truly loved the outdoors, exploring, getting dirty, riding the rangers, shooting bb guns, and having a blast with their friends.
Check out Reid's boots - Day 1 on the left - Day 2 on the right.
The boys caught some frogs and
fried up some frog legs for dinner - gross!
Kids watched a movie outside late night.
There were alot of these white butterflies flying around every morning.
Kyla kept trying to catch one and finally did right before we left.

Looks like a ton of fun indeed! Maybe not the frog part!
