Camping

This is a little late coming, but at the end of August we went camping and it was so much fun! The group included, Robbie, Me and McKinley, Jenni and Christian, Leslie and Matt and Jon and Ty. We only went overnight, but it was a blast. As it goes with camping we pretty much ate from the moment we arrived to the moment we left.
We camped at Ruth Lake, I love it there, it's so beautiful! McKinley had a fabulous first camping trip, her favorite thing to do was to throw rocks in the lake. By the time we left, that little kiddo had quite an arm.
We also hiked to a spot to rock climb and Jenni, Christian, Jon and Robbie were all great climbers. If I say so myself, Robbie looks pretty hot when he's climbing (we went climbing on our first "date" in Rexburg, maybe it just takes me back :) )!

I think my sister said it best....Ruth Lake = HAPPINESS!

Here is our tired camper at the end of the trip:

Here are our climbers (Robbie is in the yellow, lead climbing):

McKinley and I trying to eat lunch on a rock, we were not very successful!

Seriously, this kiddo LOVES her back pack!

I love all the McKinley camping pics! She looks right at home. I am really impressed with how good of a camper/hiker she is!

I was also REALLY impressed with the rock climbing pictures. I've never tried it, and those pics reminded me why. I'm a total heights wuss. I would probably be okay climbing up, but don't ask me to go down!

I can't believe how old she is! She is so cute! I love camping, some how the dirt is MAGICAL for the kids! Crazy Robbie climbing rocks. McKinley will be doing that by age 3! Look out! Hope you guys are doing well! Hope to see you soon!

How fun! I'm jealous. Way to be, camping with a young child! I'm so impressed. You guys are awesome! Lindsay, it's pretty amazing that not too long ago you couldn't even walk. I can't help but think what a miracle. I'm so happy.
