Camping

We took Isla on her first camping trip - it was so fun we're exhausted! My dad surprised us all by purchasing some four-wheelers and a dirt bike and we headed up to Hardware Ranch.

But on the way to the very top, we ran into a problem: A huge mudpit. The back left wheel sank up to the frame, and the boys started digging....and digging....and digging.

They decided that they could hook the blue truck to my dad's truck, and pull it out. That just started the adventure! Poor trucks though- you can see that the black truck now has a dent in it from the fifth-wheel in the picture below:

And while getting firewood the blue truck now needs a new back window. The log bounced and shattered the whole thing. Ugh. Camping is expensive.

Isla and I sat in the truck playing and keeping warm - I felt so bad because I wasn't much help to the guys digging out the trailer. I guess I kept baby quiet and happy.

We set up base camp and started four wheeling through the mud puddles and snow - yep there was still quite a bit of snow up there. But that just added to the fun. The boys always came back drenched in mud. They couldn't of been happier.

Isla was the cleanest baby up there in the mountains - i boiled some water and we had bathtime in some tupperware.

She loved watching the fire, having all the attention on her, and she enjoyed her first four wheeling ride. She'll be a happy toddler running around in the mud next year when we camp. For now she just stays in the trailer being warm...and picking up mud and dirt to eat. Yummy.
