Camping!

Well, it's finally summer here in North Idaho (aka, the frozen tundra) and we are making the most of it. We've been camping for 2 weekends in a row. Where do I get the energy? I don't! I'm totally exhausted, but loving every minute of it! We've had a blast. We're home now, all unpacked, laundry done & put away & back to 'real life.'

I've been thinking about school a lot lately. We'll start up our homeschooling again around the beginning of September, so getting close to time to get our books ordered. We're also counting down the days till Kaylee's birthday on the 29th. She is super excited, as any little girl should be! :) AND........ we're counting down the days till our next baby girl arrives..about 8 weeks to go now. I'm feeling rather 'done' & so thankful for the business of summer activities to keep me occupied!

Moonlight on Priest Lake, our first camping trip. Chad cooking up some bacon!

Priest Lake was such a beautiful place!! There is just something about water & mountains meeting that I love! The downfall...the water is quite chilly! We had our 'own' little water access just below our campsite. The water was waist deep for so far out & there were huge rocks in it. Lots of fun!




The kiddos had a blast filling the dump truck with rocks & dirt & sending it flying down the hill.

And what campout would be complete without s'mores?

Our second camping trip was the annual Church Campout. We had lots of fun there as well with our church family! I didn't get as many pictures though. We were camping on one end & the beach area was down on the other end...so the less we had to pack down each time, the better!

Chad & I woke up early (because it was raining!!) & I was able to get these great shots of the sunrise!
