Camping

 This last week has been James's Spring break. Up til Thursday we thought it was a bit of a bummer one since James had been working long hours on his project. However, on Thursday, James came home at noon and proposed that we head up the canyon for a camping adventure! Hot dog! For some reason or another, last Summer's camping never happened so this trip was McCabey's very first camping trip and he was tickled pink....until he cried for large chunks of the night. All in all, it was a blast and we can't wait to do it again!

 Mason takes camping very seriously.

  When McCabe wasn't trying to eat rocks he was grinning

 Char just might be one of the toughest kids I have ever met. He sliced his finger opened on a saw and didn't shed a tear. 

 James and his tent.

 Our dinner. It looks disgusting but it was good I promise. :) The boys were very interested and very helpful.

 In the morning, while James got the fire going, the boys and I snuggled in the tent and played mice. Pretty much any time of the day is great for playing mice, but the warm tent made this cold morning's mice game especially grand!

 Hot chocolate makes our world go round.

 Breakfast

 Charlie took McCabe for a morning spin around the deserted campgrounds. Camping in the off season really has it's perks.

 Nothing beats a brother.
