Labor Day Camping

Over Labor Day we loaded up the family and invited some of our favorite people, the Hansens to come with us to the Salmon River.  It was the first time we have made a trip there this summer and as always we had a great time.   The neighbors near the property up there have a few dogs that like to come visit.  My kids think they are grand.

I saw this cute little fishing pole on clearance at Walmart while I was buying shotgun shells for Dustin and I couldn't resist.  Lincoln loved it and so did his dad.

On Saturday we went to Custer to see the little ghost town and had a picnic there.  These brilliant men decided to have a little fear factor eating disgusting things like mustard on an oreo and I can't even remember what else but it was disgusting.  They make life fun and I just LOVE that smile!

Then we went fishing in the ponds.  The kids caught a few fish but had a lot of fun trying.  Mike told the kids they had to kiss a fish if they caught it so Ella and Kaiden both kissed a fish.  Gross.

Ella took a little walk to the other side of the pond and decided she had to pee and couldn't hold it and ended up peeing her pants.  She didn't let it embarrass her she just went into the car and put her swim suit on and didn't miss a beat.  

Sure love this friend so much!!

We enjoyed relaxing and eating lots of yummy foods.  Some cobblers in the oven and dutch oven chicken and potatoes on the fire.

The kids are playing in the river right behind the property while Dustin fishes.  The river is so low this time of the year we can't really float down it.  Besides that it's COLD outside!

The kids playing some cards.

On Sunday we sat around camp because #1 Mike broke his toe when he and Dustin went to the hot springs the night before and #2 I woke up with an eye infection that was irritating me and #3 Mike & Farrah's check engine light went on and we didn't dare take the car too far.  

Dustin, Lincoln and I took a big nap while Mike and Farrah played with the kids.  They really are such great friends.  My eye felt so much better when I woke up.

Ella caught a caterpillar.

Oh man I love these people!  So grateful for eternal families.  I just am so thankful to have such a good husband and such fantastic kids.  I love them all so much and love when we get to spend time together like this making memories and having fun.  Our family has been so blessed.
