Opening morning!! Casey wakes up...leaves us in the trailer while he goes hunting and we sleep in a bit longer and then have Captain crunch for breakfast!
Well.....Caleb didn't. He woke up not feeling the best and felt pretty crappy the whole weekend. He was pretty all right if the ibuprofen was running through him though.
The Saturday afternoon crew is always the biggest. I'm glad that this year we got a picture!
Oh Saturday night. I got dinner over with and mostly cleaned up. Everyone wanted smores so we did that and I cleaned it up. Sat down and Caleb didn't feel good and wanted to go to bed....so I got that taken care of. Came back out and was holding cute Lexi and she started falling asleep, so I went in and got her all ready for bed and tucked in. Finally went out to relax by the fire and the other 3 had decided they wanted to go to bed. So I went into the trailer and got them all taken care of. I went to go back outside and everyone was putting their chairs away. Not looking for pity...but this mom stuff sure isn't about the mom at all!
I always bring a few new things from either the dollar store or Smith & Edwards to help keep the kids entertained. Coloring and sticker books did the trick this time!
Caleb is always in heaven when he gets to spend time with his cousins, Tyson & Shayden. Luke was in heaven because we let him have a stick in the fire. He did pretty good and only needed a few reminders to keep it down and be careful!
The three amigos!!
I made the boys play Qwirkle with me. I love games.
My little ladies sure do love getting dirty! and they love being old enough to roast their own hot dogs & mallows!
Taylor was the only one that was interested in going hunting with Casey. She is always just happy to do whatever. Easy going Tay.
I took the kids home on Sunday evening and Casey & Colby stayed up on the mountain the rest of the week. Turns out they both got deathly ill. So they stayed up there coughing and being miserable for days. Casey is really upping his selfie game lately.
Until next year Elk Valley! I'm getting this camping thing down and it seems that each year gets a big easier.

I'm glad you are making memories. I hope you had a little fun.
It's getting easier cuz you have a trailer! Too bad sick husbands can't always go away. I love how well the family is color coordinated for the picture. :D
