Last Campout of the Year!

Lincoln asked me the other day why we don't ever go camping anymore! He was contemplating in the car, and here is the conversation that we had:

Lincoln: Mom, if you could have anything that you wanted in the back yard, what would it be?
Mom: What do you mean buddy?
Link: If you could have whatever you wanted, what would you want!?
Mom: I would probable have a table back there so we could eat dinner and stuff out there!
Link: Well, if I could have anything I wanted, I would make the backyard REALLY big, and put a camp trailer back there!

I told Cole this conversation, and he decided to get off of work early, and we headed for the hills for one last hurrah! We had SUCH a great time. It was a bit cold the next morning, and the boys were pretty miserable, but we were able to have a hot breakfast, clean everything up, and break all of camp and we were out of there by 8:30! I think it was some sort of record!


REALLY great picture of me (yikes!) but this was the next morning when the boys were SO cold, so we were snuggling and trying to stay warm!


Setting up the tent! Lincoln was a great big helper!


For dinner we had tin foil dinners and the boys scored some chicken nuggets (Lincoln) and some hot dogs! (Payton) They were actually REALLY good!



Maybe it's time for a bigger hat for the brother...what do you think?

The boys helping Cole get the fire started. We needed to collect LOTS of sticks for wood!

Holy posts, woman! Love it. Glad you guys got to campout one more time. It'll be interesting next year with dainty little girl in tow. :)

Yeah for the updated blog. It's really inspiring me. So many fun catch ups to read. So I think that your little Lincoln really looks like your little bro.

LOL, "brother"'s hat has got me cracking up! Oh so cute, I love how it just sits on top of his head! You are so much fun, he says camping in the afternoon and that night you are out roughin' it? WOW!
