Going Camping

My family loves to go camping. My parents have a great trailor and we always have a lot of fun. Our favorite spot is Lodgepole. My grandpa led the construction crew who built it and so my family grew up going there. While we were in Utah in August, my family all met up there for the weekend. Andrew and I joined them in the morning because I decided that 8 months pregnant and camping were not going to go well together.
One of my favorite things about camping is the breakfast. It just tastes so much better when it's cooked over a propane stove.

Seth enjoyed his breakfast as well.
Rachel had a lot of fun camping and wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty.
Kadin has become an expert at taking care of the fire. He kept us warm and toasty the whole time.
Have you ever played the game Zim zam? So much fun! It's the same idea as tetherball but you have a tennis ball and paddles to hit it.
Check out Seth's hair. Classic.
More zim zam fun.
Kaylee and Rachel wanted to pose for a few pictures. They are great little models.
We decided to take a day trip up to Strawberry Reservoir. It was apparently spawning season and so the reservoir would be full of Kokanee salmon.
Andrew takes good care of all the nieces and nephews while we are all out. They love him!
We couldn't find a lot of them in the reservoir, so we went to the fish hatchery where we would know we could see more. We finally found a lot of them. I was so surprised to see so many!
During the spawning season the salmon turn from silver to bright red. I'm guessing it is to make them more attractive.
The baby wanted to see the fish too.

We then came back to the campsite and started a fire for roasting marshmallows. I love roasting marshmallows!

Andrew made his extra crispy.
Kadin kept the fire going for us.
Andrew was pretty worn out by the end of the day.
It was a really fun camping trip, as always. I can't wait to go back, when I'm not pregnant!
