Camping


Landon roasting a hot dog.

Nathan was a little hesitant about camping for the first time but got the hang of it real quick. He had a hard time walking on the uneven terrain, but made it work. He loved sitting in the boys camp chairs so we really need to invest in another child's camp chair.

The boys had fun playing on this swing thing they found. They even took turns.... some of the time.

Our trip was a blast but of course we had a couple of interesting points. Like Landon throwing up because he ate too many hot dogs to quickly. Or Kyler having a potty accident because he couldn't decide which tree to pee on. The most interesting thing that happened to us actually brought us home a night early. While we were waiting for our dinner in the dutch oven to finish Landon declares that he sees a snake. Okay anyone who knows me well know that I don't do critters of any kind especially snakes. While the kids and I stayed back Jon got a little closer to at least see what kind of snake and that's when he discovered that it was a RATTLESNAKE!!!! We thought the snake was gone and then the snake decided to come right up by our campfire. That is when the kids and I retreated to our car while Jon watched from a safe distance to ensure that he leaves. At that point we decided to eat our dinner and drop camp and head home. We were going to be coming home in the morning anyways so it wasn't that big of a deal. So there is our camping adventure of 2010.
