Our first camping trip of 2013!

And we had a blast!!!  We went a few weeks ago, but I just now got the pictures downloaded.  We took our new camping trailer, the first time we ever camped in it.  It was amazing, comfortable, and perfect for our family.  We were going to camp with just a few other couples, but it ended up being 8 campers with a total of around 15 kids!!!  I'm not gonna lie, it was hard keeing track of my little ones...but then that's the beauty of camping, the wide open spaces allows for running around without too much stress.  ROAM FREE LITTLE ONES!! We went for rides on our 4 wheeler "or BUGGY" as we like to call it, we went fishing, played games, went on hikes, and the kids made new friends.  It was great :-)

This is the view from our trailer.  I love the forest!

Our campsite...with all our friends

Through this gate is the river.  The kids loved this spot!  And we tried fishing here but no luck :-/

Landen pushing his tractor.  This toy was a hot item among the kids!

Snack time!!  Taking some time out from our fishing trip to Fenton Lake.  We caught 3 fish this day.  This is Vivian's Friend Estivan who she's known since they were newborns.  They have the same birthday and were born within hours of eachother.

This is Mia, Estivan's sister who is a few months older than Landen.  She's trying out Vivian's fishing pole here.

Fenton Lake.  A forest fire a few years ago wiped out the trees above.  But there's signs of life coming back!

Trying to catch fish.  Here's Chris and our camping friends lined up along the shore trying too!

More fishing friends

This is our "BUGGY"  Chris took Vivian and her new friends for a ride.  They had a blast!!  They saw some deer and went through puddles!  The girls were screaming and laughing like crazy!!

On another ride with our friends.  Taking a hike in the mountains. 

Our final campfire.  The last night we were there.  We put all the wood we had left on it!  It was more like a bonfire.

Enjoying a beautiful star-filled night. 

We stopped on our way home for a final fishing trip.  This is Vivian Fishing along the river close to where we camped.
