The last weekend in April we decided to join our friends who were out camping at Bear Canyon Lake. A few days before going, Jared went to Bass Pro and bought our boys fishing poles. He has been promising them he would get them one and take them fishing for a long time. They were SO excited! Every day when Jared got home from work they begged him to take them outside to practice casting. They both got pretty good at it.
FINALLY Friday came and we had to wait for daddy to get home from work. I'm sure I was asked at least a hundred times how much longer it would be before daddy got home. Once he FINALLY got here we took off. It was a great drive up as all three kids slept most of the way. The boys had woken up early because they knew it was the day we were leaving and just were too excited. It sure made the drive up wonderful!!!
We made it to where our friends were camping and soon everyone was headed down to the lake to do some fishing. I know the boys had a good time although it did get frustrating at times. They kept getting caught on the rocks and things in the water and the fish just didn't want to bite! Very few fish were caught so the boys would lose interest. I think they still enjoyed being outdoors and having as much space as they wanted to run around and just be boys!
When we weren't down at lake fishing or riding the boat, the boys were just running around getting dirty. They played a lot of "baseball", hide 'n seek, digging in the dirt for worms, and whatever else they could think of. Here are some random pictures.
This kid just LOVED the bat and ball. He was pretty much carrying it around with him 90% of the time!
I was a little concerned about camping with such a young baby but she did great! This is how she spent a lot of her time...
Karli brought stuff to make dirt with the boys (pudding, mashed up oreos, and gummy worms). They definitely got dirty!
Overall I would definitely call it a successful camping trip! I'm already looking forward to the next one as I know the boys are too (Father's and Son's is this weekend for them!). I think I'll need a few trips out of the crazy heat this summer to stay sane:)

So fun! I like how Caleb sticks his tongue out in concentration when casting, Max does that too! (Not when he casts a rod but just concentrates in general)
I am excited for our kids to get bigger so we can also get in a few camping trips before we leave AZ for residency. We will hav to do a trip together one of these days.
