Fishlake Camping Trip

Scott was on a fire detail in Oregon for a few weeks, so when he came back we planned to get in one last camping trip before school began. Camping with a baby is not ideal but we love our new tent trailer and are committed to using it. We packed up and went first to Orem, hit the big, shiny grocery store and got our supplies, then we were off on the trip. The kids all traveled well and were so excited.
 We rented a boat the second day, only 6 were allowed and there were no life jackets for Calvin, so we stayed at camp while the others went out. They fished a little and each got a turn driving the boat. They loved it.








 The third day we went for a picnic near a stream, unfortunately it was running super high, but we played in it a little. That blue flip flop even got a ride down river. I seem to remember mentioning that was going to happen a time or two... Luckily it got caught in some branches downstream and was recovered.

 Mom and Calvin
Calvin all bundled up for the night. yes, it was cold, and the first night was a little rough, the second night Whitney's achy legs were the problem, but the third night went quite well. I think Calvin likes sleeping with mom and dad. He also likes to stare at trees. He does not like wind. He turned 4 months old on this trip. It's definitely work to go camping but as the girls get older they are so much help and so much fun. It is also nice when Scott's phone can't ring. We love making family memories and I know this was a good one. We are already planning for next year.

Love the happy faces! What a beautiful spot, that Fish Lake. How green everything is. You all look so relaxed and happy. Good to see. Congratulations on the boat driving, everyone. Great choice of tent trailer, Mom and Dad. :)
