On a whim

Friday on trek for the Scout store MY LB called and asked if we wanted to go camping. I thought it sounded like fun and I couldn't wait until Friday. Only it was Friday and now I am freaking out. YIKES, I have to go to the Scout store, stop at Toys R Us (as promised) and get home in time to pack for camping.

IT'S ALL GOOD..............

Fire restrictions that we were not expecting so raw hot dogs for dinner.

Just kidding!! We brought our camping stove. THANK GOODNESS!

By the way watching Kendal eat that made me want to PUKE.

We had to hike a hill to find a sunny spot (kind of sunny) to eat our breakfast. Of course after we were done eating we had to explore.

Spencer was a crazy tree climber (scary actually). I followed him up this particular tree and a very eager Kendal stood under saying "up". Like brother like sister.

Interesting fact about Matthew, he eats grasshoppers. Just kidding he actually just catches them. He is very good at it and I am not quite sure that this is a talent but if it is he is a very talented grasshopper catcher. However if we are talking spiders, NOT SO MUCH. The night before this we were all sitting around the camp stove (not to be confused with camp fire) and a spider ran over his foot. Not being to helpful his dad said he thought it looked like a tick. So for the rest of the night we watched Matthew try to keep his feet off the ground (even when he was walking). Of course we laughed to which he replied, "what do you want me to get Lime Disease or something". Where on Earth did he hear about Lime Disease?

Kendal was calling for the dogs to come. The dogs better known as Coyotes. She could hear them but she couldn't see them so she kept patting her little legs and saying, "here doggie, here doggie". Thank goodness they were not obedient mutts.

What a fun treasure hunt! MY LB downloads these little treasure hunts on his GPS and we go on an adventure. When you find the treasure you write down your name, take something and then leave something. ARRGH, we love treasure mates!

We also found time to fish. Just for the record fishing with four kids NOT EASY. Matthew caught the only two fish and they were GIGANTIC, well as far as a good fish story goes they were.

Kudos to MY LB for acting on his camping whim. I love you my nutty Outdoors man!
