So we decided to go camping this last weekend before it keeps getting any hotter. We drove just outside of town to a place called Baker Reservoir. Ray had went fishing there a few weeks earlier and had good luck with it so we decided to take Logan there. But unfortunately, the wind was blowing terribly and the water was too choppy to get much accomplished but we still had a lot of fun. Logan's style of fishing was to "throw" or cast the line out then put the fishing pole down and to throw rocks in the water and yell at the fish, "Here fishy, fishy, fishy...Come eat the rocks!" It was pretty cute.
For our camping spot we did it wussy style and went to the paid camp ground site. It worked out good because it had good tent sites and a restroom close by. Logan's activity of choice was looking for lizards. There were just these little lizards running all over that would come sit on the lava rock to get warm and Logan thought it was way cool to chase after them and go for walks to look for them and then try to feed them rocks as well. We were able to have a fire and at first I was a little nervous as to how Logan would respond around it, but he was so good about it. He was very careful walking around it and never tried to play in it. Chase was a super good camper! He just smiled and played and slept the whole time. Part of why he was so good was because we found out at the doctor's that he has allergies, even though little kids his age aren't supposed to be able to get them. Anyways, the doc told us to give him Children's Zyrtec, but it does make him a little drowsy. So we gave that to him for the first time when we were camping and it made for a pleasant Chase.
(Getting ready to head home. Logan wanted to ride in the back so we rode there just through the campsite. )
(We call this Logan's clown picture. You can't really tell from this pic on the blog, but he has Doritos cheese all of his mouth and then a red punch mustache on top of it. He looked pretty goofy, but hey, we're camping right, that's what you do!)
(My boys relaxing by the fire and just having a good time.)
(Chase was having a great time. He loved being outside and scooting around in the dirt. He couldn't have been any better.)
All in all, we had a really fun trip and we hopefully want to be able to make a couple more trips this summer.

I was wondering how camping with two little boys was! I am so glad you had a good time. Loved the pictures!
I still get flabbergasted when I see how big Logan is. I was going through pics the other day and saw those that I took of him when he was a newborn. It's crazy how fast they grow, isn't it? (I still haven't met Chase. :(
That looks like it was a lot of fun!
Hey, Brian was up there on Friday night with the scouts, they stayed in the camp ground too. Sounds like you guys had fun!!
Fun.. a family camping trip! I am glad the boys behaved and all went well. What a cute fam!
That looks so like so much fun! I'm so jealous! Your boys are getting so big!
How Fun! We went out to a campsite the other day and just went on a hike (we didn't get very far with Hallee walking all by her self) and roasted marshmellows and it was so fun! My next adventure will be in a couple weeks when we are going camping for 3 days in a tent... guess we will see how it goes! It looks like you guys had fun... kids just love being outside!
How fun!!! Your boys are so stinkin' cute, and love the here fishy, fishy story!!! Your living room looks amazing, what a great wife and mama you are to fix "yummies" all the time! Loved catching up on your posts!!!:-)
