The Great Outdoors

We decided to go on a camping trip, since we hadn't been since last summer. My parents, and Kyle's cousin and family came with us. It was a much needed break! There was a creek right next to our campsite, so as soon as we got there the fishing poles came out. You can't go camping without smores!

Me and Lex snuggling next to the fire Alexis also loved snuggling next to Abbey (Kyle's cousin's baby)
Taking a break next to the boat
Here is Kylie reeling in a fish with her daddy, he bought her a little pink fishing pole for the trip. Carson already had two of his own. I just love the look on Carson's face! He is brave.........I guess just a typical boy, he touched the fish, he touched the worms, and he loved it.
Lexi practicing her cast
Carson and Kylie slept in the trailer with grammy and grandpa the first night we were there. They came in our tent for the second night.

Jessica and Abbey. She is such a pretty baby. They moved here a couple of months ago, so that Mike(her husband) could go to school. We talked them into coming with us, they are a lot of fun.
Carson and Kylie loved hanging out with their dad.
Grandpa and Alexis
This was our sleeping quarters........next time we will not go without a blow up mattress!
We went for a ride in my dad's boat right before we packed up to go home. Carson had been fishing in it before, but it was Kylie and Lexi's first time.

We had a great time. It is so fun to be outdoors and to enjoy all the beautiful creations, but it is great to get home and take a shower. I was desperate for soap and warm water! Carson was so sad to leave, he cried for a while when we were packing up. Poor kid! We will have to do it more often.
