Camping fun

We decided to go camping with our friends this weekend and had a great time. We went to Mormon Lake and were a little disappointed when we drove up considering there isn't a lake there at all, the camp site had tents lined up one right after another, and the facilities (bathrooms) were not the greatest. So we decided to make camp down a little dirt road in the trees. It turned out to be awesome even though we had no running water or bathrooms. I have to admit I have always been a little leary of squatting in the woods but the kids did great and it was a fun adventure for all.

The kids (and dads) had a great time kicking the soccer ball around and chasing it down the hill but the real fun started when the soccer ball popped out of the leather covering.

The kids also entertained themselves by catching flies and bugs in water bottles and throwing them up in the air to see how long it would take to actually kill the bug- nice

Katelyn could spend her whole life picking flowers. She made sure our campsite was decorated with bouquets and that mom always had flowers (or twigs) in her hair.

We went down to the lodge and found horseback riding. The kids rode Jughead (yes, that was really the horses name) and loved it. Katelyn even drew pictures of her horseback adventure all the way home.

This was officially Carter's first camping trip and of course he did awesome. (okay, I need help. I don't know how to rotate the picture, any suggestions)
