Camping on Beaver Mountain

Every year around the 24th of July we usually head to Beaver Mountain to do some family camping. This year we had to move it up because Angie & Nate move to Hawaii on the 28th and Eric & Heidi leave on the 26th to move to Oregon. So this past week we all met up at Lake Lebaron and enjoyed one last family get together for a few years.

Dan, Drake and I headed down on Wednesday and got the perfect camp spot right next to the meadow and close to the potty. We made tin foil dinners and set up the tent. Unfortunately, when I made my list of things needed for camping some how the blow up mattress got missed. I did remember the pump though. Well Drake started off in the pack and play but he woke up and decided he wanted to sleep with mom and dad on the hard ground. It was a rough nights sleep. My parents showed up early the next morning with Jake and Austin. Eric & Heidi came next with Alyssa and Mckenna in tow. Then the Sarah & Miah with the rest of their kids. Finally, Angie and Nate came with Brock.

It was a great time fishing playing ball in the meadow and watching the kids just enjoy hanging out with their cousins. Dan even tied for first in the number of fish caught for the weekend. He was so proud of himself. He even kept a couple; luckily he forgot them in the freezer of the trailer cuz I wasn't going to touch them if they smelled fishy.

It will be a couple of years before we all get to camp out together again, so we look forward to the next time. We will miss all the family heading in different directions and we love them very much.
