Camping with the White's

So cheary. You all look so happy.

Its not called camping unless we have a portable DVD player for the kids. Hee Hee.

The Kids discover that playing in the water fountain was much better than the dried up lake.

Not so tough now are ya!

So a week ago on a Thursday night our friends call us and ask us if we want to go camping the next day. I have had the urge to go camping for awhile and when Chuck asked me I was like "Yes, Yes, Yes". But me and Chuck have never been camping together before. So we had nothing to go camping. He had a tent and a little air mattress cause he had taken Bailey once to a ward camp out and Peyton to a father son camp out. But never with all of us together. So we had to get everything in a hurry... another mattress for me, another sleeping bag, a stove, pots and pans, get food ready, and ect... we also decuded to go to Folson Lake since our friends lived in Sacramento we thought we would go by them. On the way up we realized that we forgot some things like a pump for our mattresses and ketchup and mustard for the kids and a lighter for the fire. Well when we finally got there and found a camp ground to camp in, there were a ton of people around in the grounds around us and it was a bit of a hike to the pottys. But no biggy, but we also forgot one more thing... fire wood. And since there were some dead tree's by us our friend Ian brought his handy dandy ax to solve our problem. But there is was a bad thing... er-go the police car in the picture's above. Yup we were not aware that its an $800 midameener (sp) to cut our own wood from the tree's there. (Don't worry, we didn't get one) So the boys drove to the nearest gas station (about 10 minutes away) and bought some fire wood. Once we were settled and the kids were in bed, it was SMORE TIME. I pigged out on those things like it was the last thing to eat on earth. I had 5!!! And I don't regret it either. They were so stinkin good!!! So as we were chatting around the fire, another police came up to us and told us it was quiet time, everyone looked at me like I was the blame. Well I am loud... sorry. Afterall of the stress and huffing and puffing, it turned out to be a great campng trip and we have learned not to go back to folsom lake again. For now on its off to the sierra's!!! We love you guys, Ian and Yanneth, thanks so much for inviting us. Hope to do it again soon!!!
