First camping of 2014

I'm sure there will be many more trips this summer (because we ALL loved it), but here are some pictures from our first camping trip this year :-)

The boys LOVED climbing this little hill up behind the tent. Dez has started to give this cheeser grin when I say "smile!"  I love it :-)

Parker showing me his muscles after climbing up the hill the first time. 

Dezs reaction after I helped him climb to the top too. He just has to do everything Parker does!

The carp we're going NUTS the whole time we were there, so Ty wanted to try and snag one. I honestly did not think he'd get one, but to my surprise, after only about 30 minutes he came back with this :-)

Parker was so proud!

Our pump wouldn't work in the car, so I blew our little raft up myself! Holy! (It wasn't as bad as the air mattress ;-) And we could only find one oar, so it was super difficult to use. Oh well, it was fun and a great workout. 

Somehow we got to the lake (about 25 minutes away) with all four of us and all our camping stuff in our little car. I was sitting between the boys with all three of our laps full, and the front seat stacked to the roof. It was super uncomfortable and Ty had to listen to 2 or maybe 3 of us complaining. ;-) we finally made it and had a great time! And the trip caused Ty to finally want a van too! We'll hopefully be getting a killer deal on one tomorrow! Woohoo! Camping on the Oregon coast?! Heck yes!!
