a-camping we will go

for mother's day weekend this year, we took the trailer out for a quick camping trip. we drove an hour southeast to glenn's ferry and stayed at three island state park. they had great grassy areas for the kids to run and play. it was a beautiful weekend. when we arrived i got lunch ready and we ate together at our cute little table. the lindley's arrived shortly after we did and the playing began. wyatt and sulli didn't stop. neither did ben. they were playing with balls and bikes, dirt and rocks. you can see our campers side by side in our "companion" spot. we ate yummy food and relaxed (in between chasing kids). my parents came over for a bbq that night. it was fun to see them (didn't capture them with the camera though...darn). after benny went to bed, lisa got a great campfire going. the night was made complete with s'mores.

the next morning, lisa made omelets in baggies (great idea for camping). it tasted so good. then evan, cody and lisa went for a run. i took the boys on an adventure walk. we came across an old ferry that used to take the wagons across the snake. then we came to the oregon trail interpretive center. it was closed but there was a neat wagon out front that served as a photo op spot! benny did great chillin' in the stroller. the boys were troopers. they walked for over 45 minutes and never once complained or asked to be carried (this is huge!). we had a great time and are already planning our next get away. mother's day ended with a dinner at evan's parents house. what a wonderful weekend! happy mother's day to all of you wonderful mothers out there. you are so special...and so loved.
