Last week Nick spent Monday through Thursday morning at Scout Camp, returned home long enough to take a shower and pack up the car and our family headed to Sun Lakes in Coulee City, WA for a camping trip. We went with several other families from our ward and Carson and Spencer ran from campsite to campsite begging food with their gang of dirty little boys. I must say it is so nice and even a little relaxing when you camp with friends, the boys were never bored once. The campground itself wasn't anything special and gravel isn't the best groundcover to sleep on but it was outstaged by the beautiful weather and the lake. I've never met a sunny day near the water I didn't like! We spent all of our time swimming, fishing, boating and just sun soaking. I have such happy childhood memories of camping with my family and I'm hoping that our boys will feel the same way when they are older.
* I will confess that the happy family fishing moment didn't last long, 15 minutes later both boys were laying on the dock bored to tears because we hadn't caught a fish and wouldn't rent them a boat. And Spencer enjoying his ride in pirate boat has no idea that by the end of the day his poor inner thighs will be rubbed raw (huge blisters) from sand and a soggy diaper! Who was in charge of packing the swim diapers?
