Any one for mosquitoes and sunburns???

I LOVE camping. The only person who might love it more is Casey. He would rather be camping than in Disneyland!!! Not me! But I really do love it. Why do we love it? I'm not always really sure. We never get much sleep. The mosquitoes always feast on us. And we usually come home red as lobsters. Believe it or not... there are many things that outweigh the bad. We took a trip with my family this last weekend. It was awesome.



We all had a great time on the four wheelers; camping just wouldn't be the same without a good four-wheel ride. Dillon also LOVED the four-wheelers. He loves anything on wheels (I guess it's a boy thing). He seriously spent more than half of the trip sitting on a four-wheeler, standing behind the wheel of our truck, or driving the little red car.

By the way, see the little bug bit on Dillon's forehead? The next morning he woke up with an entirely misshapen head. He must have had some allergic reaction to the mosquitoes. He had one huge swollen bump on the front of his head, one on the back, and one on his fore arm. Poor kid! He looked like Popeye, after he just had is head slammed in a door...





Another reason we love camping...We all love to fish! Especially when the fishing is as good as it was! Casey is an avid fisherman, but everyone (including the kids) had luck fishing. Below are my cute nieces and nephew with Dillon: Ellie, Brooklynn, and Kempton.


The food, the games, and the company also added to the trip. We're hoping to fit in another trip before the summer is over, but where is the time going? Believe it or not...I'm going to miss the triple digit weather. I swear we can never fit everything in...
