We decided to meet my mom and Dave up in the Sawtooth's last weekend for a little camping trip. They scored all this amazing camping equipment for $60 since Dave works at Sportsman's Warehouse and they wanted to try it out. Last time we went camping a couple weeks ago my kids did great so I was excited. Unfortunately a cold front moved in the day we left so we knew it would be cold and we packed LOTS of blankets. It was cold, but we still had fun hiking and exploring and of course fishing.
Some of the highlights of the trip were huddling around the campfire so as not to freeze, the boys going potty in Grandma's little portable toilet, seeing deer right next to our campsite every morning and night, watching daddy catch fish and exploring Stanley Lake and finding a toad, a dragonfly and a snake! My boys had a blast even though Sam didn't sleep well because he was all stuffed up. It definitely put me in the mood to go again soon before the summer is over! We love camping!
Hike at Pettit Lake
Isn't it gorgeous!
Abby doing what labs do best at Pettit Lake, she was so happy!
Poor Dave was so tired, what we thought was a half mile hike turned out to be 1.2 miles!
Hmmm, smores!
This kid snitched so much chocolate it was ridiculous!

The toad we saw at Stanley Lake, the kids were in heaven there!
Further evidence of the bug whisperer, I love the detail!
Doing a little dance I guess?

Hey Chelle Belle!
Looks like you've had a fun summer. Love the outdoors and where did summer go? So cute how Rex is into bugs. He's finding some good ones. Hey lets try to get together this fall. Let me know if you'll be coming to IF or SL anytime soon:)
You have had such an outdoorsy summer. I'm jealous. We did, however, roast marshmallows in our back yard. S'mores are my girls favorite too!
