Family Camping Trip

A few weeks ago we took Makayla on her first camping trip. We went up to the Uintas. It was suppose to be a relaxing trip before school was to start for Caleb and I, but it was the opposite. We had a fun time, don't get me wrong, but relaxing isn't what I would call it with a 4 1/2 month old child!
First of all it was so cold up there, and Makayla isn't use to being bundled up, so that was a challenge. Also we slept in my parents trailer so that we wouldn't be as cold and the heater didn't work all the time, so that was hard. Since it was cold at night we didn't sleep very well at night. With all that said we did have some fun playing games, going fishing, sitting by the camp fire, and talking about Twilight!


Here are some fun pictures from our trip to the mountains. Most of them are of Makayla, but hey that is who you all care to see anyways.



These are pictures of what Makayla had to where up there because it was so cold. I had her in a long sleeve onesie, feet pajamas, sweats, a fleece jacket, a beanie, and little mitten gloves! Even though it was freezing up there at night, she still had to have her hands above her head! Silly little girl.



Here are some pictures of Caleb and what he enjoyed doing up at camp. He caught a pretty big fish and was so proud of it, I just had to take a picture. Also he took his paintball guns up to play with. He had a lot of fun playing one-on-ones with my cousin Matt and brother Cory. The last picture is my favorite. That is what happens when you mess with me! You see when Cory and Jerilyn got up to camp Jerilyn thought of a fun game that we could play. Our husbands would run and we would chase them with the paintball guns. Caleb was all game saying there was no way we would be able to hit them. Cory was a little more hesitant. I guess that is what Caleb gets for being so confident. Yes I hit him in the face with a paintball! I felt really bad, but he said that it didn't hurt. He had a pretty fat lip for the rest of the trip. Luckily it went away before we got back so he didn't have to explain to everyone that his wife beat him at paintball!!!

Here is Makayla enjoying the trip, during the daytime! She loves to hang upside down and would do it forever if mom wasn't so worried about all the blood rushing to her head. She also enjoyed the lake. Here she is sitting with grandma Hunter while we fished.

Makayla and Grandma Hunter just chilling! They did a lot of this! Isn't her outfit the cutest! Thanks Brooke! Also Makayla and mom sitting by the fire. We were so glad we could have fires this year!



So there you have it our first little camping trip with Makayla!

Looks like so much fun! We took Rachel camping when she was three old. What were we thinking? We were up all night.

We didn't sleep much when we took Zach at 2-1/2 years old either. He got sick and it was miserable. Sure gives me respect for those pioneer moms.
