We went camping this weekend with our great friends the Young's. They chose a beautiful spot about a 1 1/2 hours away at Sage Hen Reservoir. It was so beautiful and just the perfect weekend to go. We left Sunday after church, and I have to say the drive there was terrible...it involved some throwing up, trailer breaks not working like they should, and the truck dieing here and there...but we made it there in one piece. And what a beautiful spot it was! We got out and got everything set up and the girls did some exploring. We were camped right by a huge rock that the girls spent a lot of time rock climbing. We made yummy tin-foil dinners and then went down to the reservoir to check it out. Then went back to the camp and had some cupcakes for Elsie's birthday. The girls had fun chopping wood and playing with their best friends. The next morning after breakfast and some exploring...they collected pine-cones and painted them pretty colors. Then they went back to their favorite rock...but his time the Dads got involved...so things got more technical with ropes and ties and cool knots...they had a lot of fun! Then to the reservoir for some swimming and picnic lunch. We found a good spot and it even had a rope-swing! The girls were very brave and took turns jumping from the rope. The dads had fun jumping in after the ducks that would swim really close to us...boys...seriously! Back to camp to get dried and dressed. We went for a really beautiful nature walk...it is such a beautiful area...we went back to camp, made some dinner, played around with new-found friends, the caterpillars...(poor little things.) We had some s'mores, and just a great time with great friends. That night a huge lighting and thunder storm rolled in...thank goodness for camper trailers!!! We headed home the next morning after breakfast and after packing up all our dripping wet stuff. Can't wait to go camping again. Madi came home with a fever and headache...but seems to be kicking it pretty fast...so my exciting day today will consist of lots of laundry and many cartoons. We really did have such a great time. It is so great being a family!!!

WE are so glad we went camping with you guys. I didn't realize your ride up was so bad... your pictures put mine to shame..
Looks like fun. Can't go wrong camping, there's always fun to be had. You take such good pictures, they are so fun to look at. I am also glad you are getting in some pictures too. I am not very good at that either, and am regretting it also. Cute belly!
Dang your boobs are getting big! Haha...one of the perks of pregnancy! It looks so beautiful there! There won't be just girls for long!
It looks so beautiful and fun. You shouldn't hate being in pictures because you are so cute, but I know how you feel. I loved all the pictures. Pictures definately make a post more enjoyable, and you take such awesome pictures they are fun to see.
That is a beautiful area! Looks like a great place to go camping. you still look so great, Its fun to see you in pics!
Haha.. you know why your trip up was so bad? You left on a SUNDAY!! Just kidding, stuff like that always happens to us when we do fun family activities on Sunday. You are so cute pregnant, you should stay like that forever.
I LOVE YOU BLOGSPOT TEMPLATE! Great job. You should change the size when you save your template in photobucket to the 1G size, that way it covers the entire screen. Where did you get the cute digi papers?
Camping is a lot of fun. Devin hates it, but the rest of us, love it. Cute pictures.
How did you do a blog book. Time for you to teach me. Email me!
I LOVE when you post lots of pics! The pic with you and Brent is so cute! You don't even look pregnant! AT ALL! I want to go camping there! SO pretty!

I love all the pictures you post. I want to see the book you did, where you did it ect. I can't wait to see you too! I love reading all your camping blogs, but wish we were doing it too.
