Memorial Day- High Creek

My mom has been here the last few weeks to help me watch my kids. My dad decided to come up for the weekend to go camping in High Creek.





The first night was stormy wet and cold. We mostly stayed in the trailers, ate junk food and drank hot chocolate. Luckily the sun came out for the rest of the trip and we soaked up some good fresh mountain air.







When Randy's mom was here last she helped make the kids this tee-pee. Or as Claire called it her Pee Pee. It was fun to listen to the kids play make believe in the tent.









We were camped next to some of our neighbors. The boys rode bikes almost the entire time and the girls went from activity to activity giggling and being silly. I am glad they were there so the kids could entertain each other.





Doesn't she look relaxed???



We ate a TON!!!!



My dad wore a pair of binoculars the entire weekend. He watched the mountain side all day. He was watching the deer elk, and the wild turkeys. Brad finally got the hang of looking through the spotting scope and loved seeing things up close. My dad was even searching the river for wildlife.













My mom took the kids on a bug hunt. They pulled up rocks and logs looking for bugs. Claire like the idea of picking up a bug or worm but when it came down to it she made Bradley do it.









On Sunday afternoon Matt and Tori came up for a visit. Randy's parents also stopped by for dinner Sunday night. After dinner our neighbors Melissa and Todd came for the camp fire. We had quite the crowd. It was really fun.













I love this picture. Usually Claire follows Sammy around pulling her by the tail. This time Sammy followed Claire trying to sneak a bite of her smore.



We had a really fun weekend. It is always hard to pack up and come back to reality.
