3RD CAMPING TRIP

THE THIRD AND LAST CAMPING TRIP OF THE SUMMER (UNLESS WE GET A CHANCE TO GO AGAIN) WAS A FAMILY REUNION ON THAD'S MOM'S SIDE. IT WAS SO FUN TO MEET THAD'S RELATIVES, MANY OF THEM FOR THE FIRST TIME. 

THIS TIME, THE LOCATION WAS LAKE WALCOTT- CLOSE TO BURLEY, IDAHO.THERE WAS PLENTY OF ROOM AND EVEN FLUSH-ABLE TOILETS, NOT TO MENTION SHOWERS. THERE WAS ONE BIG DOWN SIDE THOUGH; THERE WERE SPIDERS (NASTY BIG ONES) ALL OVER! 

HERE ARE A FEW PICTURES (NONE OF THE SPIDERS.........I STOLE THESE PICS FROM AVERY'S CAMERA).

2ND CAMPING TRIP

OUR SECOND CAMPING TRIP WAS WITH AVERY AND HER FAMILY. WE WENT UP TO SCOUT MOUNTAIN LIKE WE DID IN 2010. THE PLACE IS AWESOME. IT IS NOT EXPENSIVE, THERE WAS PLENTY OF SHADE AND PRIVACY, AND THERE IS A PICNIC TABLE AS WELL AS A PREPARED PLACE TO PUT YOUR TENT. IT IS ALSO QUITE CLOSE MAKING IT CONVENIENT FOR SPONTANEOUS CAMPING TRIPS. WE ALSO HIT UP LAVA HOT SPRINGS. WE WERE ABLE TO BORROW PAXIE-LOU FROM HER NEW OWNER. IT WAS GREAT TO SPEND TIME WITH HER.  ALL AROUND, IT WAS A GREAT CAMPING TRIP DESPITE ME WAKING UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND SLIGHTLY FREAKING OUT :) ENJOY THE EVIDENCE:

UNFORTUNATELY I FORGOT OUR CAMERA AND THE TRIP WAS NOT DOCUMENTED VERY WELL. I HAVE ONE PICTURE FROM KELLIE'S PHONE AND THAT'S IT!
