Camping!
The weekend before Lucy and I left for California we went on our first Idaho camping trip. We went about 67 miles away but it took a good 3 hours to get there because 50 miles of that looked like this:
Dirt road!!!
On the way up we saw a heard of deer!
Shaun thinks that big one is an elk. I have no clue.
Our camp site was right by the river and incredibly remote. We saw 4 other cars on the main road all weekend!
On Saturday we went on a beautiful hike. I was 100% sure that I would die on the drive to get to the hike but thankfully we didn’t. That road was scary!!!
I did get some beautiful pictures of flowers!
There was still a lot of snow!
The river was the focal point of our trip!
Doesn’t Lucy look jazzed?!?!?! (she had just woken up from a nap)
The whole family 
Sawtooth hiking!
Awesome sights!
River crossings!
Our destination was a big, beautiful meadow.
Lucy loves camping!
Mommy loves camp cooking-cobbler!!!
Men playing dominoes. Aren’t they manly?
Lucy and one of her favorites-Miss Sarah!
Lucy got over her fear of dogs this trip (there were 5!). It was great. Here she is hand feeding Mateo:
Her first s’more!
It was an awesome trip! Numerous times while we were in CA, Lu asked to go camping-she loved it. We’re off for another one in a few weeks!!!
Tomorrow? Disneyland!

Aw, she’s not a baby anymore! Well, I mean, obviously…but she’s lost all of that “baby” in her look. All big girl now. The trip looks like fun! I wish we were doing a big camping venture this year, but not until next year. I still have to convince Christopher that we don’t want to spent three weeks in the dessert with two small children and a preteen. At least we’re going to the east coast for a few week this year.
Lucy is growing…FAST! That smore looks good, wish I had one now. Your camping trip looked really fun. LOVE the patriotic lawn chair 😛
I love the picture of her feeding Mateo with Sarah. You’re photography is getting really good too. I’m so excited to go camping with you guys!
I love camping, that site looks supreme! We live in Milwaukee so all the camp site we have heard about are run by the state and are only little plots next to other campers…boo. My first year wedding anniversary was last sat. the 4th and we went camping with our little pup, so much fun! I think I was almost as happy as Lucy was in that smore picture!!
Maya loves to camp, also…..I’m slowly building up my supplies so that we can do it more often and with more spontenaity. Right now…it seems like it takes an awful lot of effort to get ready for a camping weekend. I suspect, though, that the more we do it the easier it will get!
I’m not a camper but you make it look fun! 😉
What kind of dog is that black & tan one?
