The Great Outdoors

This past weekend we took Makenna on her first real camping trip. She had the time of her life! It was so exciting to see her explore and love getting into all the dirt. Rex, Diane and Sarah's boys came along too and it was great to have them there.


 Nick's shirt says "A little dirt won't hurt". Here he is showing Makenna just what that means :)
 Then he helped her really get into it. She was covered!
 A lot of Jackson and Isaac's time was spent at the creek right next to our campsite. Brad helped them build some bridges with the big logs so we could all cross the water.

 We had a good campfire that Jackson and Isaac were so faithful at keeping going. By the end of the evening it finally got really cold so it was nice. As for sleeping that night, it was pretty awful. Makenna did NOT sleep well in the tent and much of the night was spent calming her down. But Brad and I  fully anticipated it to be bad, so I think we had pretty good attitudes about it.
  In the morning after breakfast we went on an adventure. Rex drove his truck through the creek and we drove up the mountain aways. We rode in the back :) All the boys threw rocks at the top trying to hit bushes. I love how easily boys can entertain themselves.
 When we got home we were so tired, but also glad to have had such a fun time.

What a great trip! I'm glad Makenna enjoyed herself. She sure is a cutie and so grown up!

Oh my goodness! I can't believe how big she is looking. Such a doll!
