Ryland and Camden had begged us all summer to take them camping. There is just something about sleeping in a tent when you are a kid that just sounds super fun right? They really wanted to go and we finally had a free weekend near the end of July, so we packed up and went. Thankfully my sister Kellilyn wasn't busy that weekend and joined us on the quick get-away! She is the best and is always so great to be a helping hand for us. We found a nice little spot just east of Pineview Reservoir. It was perfect weather for camping and we had a great time. Our camp spot had a nice little trail down to the river. The boys could have spent all day and night right here. Ry and Kelli wading out to the rocks, see what I mean about an awesome extra set of hands!
Such a perfect spot for a little photo!
Cos and I hanging out on the shore, oh and eating rocks.
Yep, he couldn't stop putting every rock he saw in his mouth. And as you can see, there were a lot of rocks here. Seriously!
And then he makes this face when I tried to take them away. Those eyes just can't figure out what was so wrong with eating rocks! That boy!
It didn't take long for Cos to get his feet in the water too.
He was loving it!
Cohen and Ryland have such a great connection. Cohen worships the ground Ryland walks on and loves it when Ry gives him attention. And Ryland loves his little brother a lot. He is so good to him. Here is just a small sample of how much they love each other. Cohen copies everything Ry does. I blame Ryland for teaching Co how to scream! :)
We enjoyed a yummy hot dog roast over the fire for dinner
And of course smores. The food is the best part of camping, delicious!
And to say Cohen LOVED his first camping trip would be quite an understatement. He had such a great time!
Camden couldn't get enough of the fire. Ya, he thought it was great. Sticks, dirt, fire, all boy right there!
Love these people!
Everyone slept pretty good through the night. We had a rougher time ignoring our drunk neighbors so we could sleep than anything with the kids. The joys of camping right? It worked out okay but we were glad when morning came. We headed over to pineview to swim for a while that day. It was so SO perfect for swimming. The water felt great, not cold at all. It was also super crowded, but we had a great time. Camden loved the sand.
And Cohen graduated from eating rocks, to eating sand. Yep, onward and upwards. :)
The boys loved being in the water. They would run from the shore into the water ALL DAY!
So fun!
We were so sad to say goodbye to our little camping adventure. I wish we had more free weekends to spend camping. The boys loved it and we had such a great time. Thank you wonderful outdoors!
