Mohawk Redux




More Camping

What else does one do when camping?
Look beautiful in the morning right after waking up of course.
I think Heather had just sneezed in this one.....
Our campsite. Where we enjoyed a blazing fire and adult conversation without chill-uns' every night. It was wonderous to behold.
He actually looked the best in the morning, actually.


Notice our diaper bag, strategically placed downwind of our camp. Yeah. Camping with three chilluns in diapers. Not a feat for the weak at heart. Or nose.
Breakfast. The most important meal of the day. Especially f I have anything to do with it. I. Love. Breakfast.

Brenin.

Work it, baby, Yeah, do your thing. Oouuuuu-wee! (this was taken either right before or after I lit the Pam No-Stick spray on fire like a flame-thrower and flambeyeed the pancakes)
Slides
Built just for little people
Impervious to your hard plastic
And your rocky dirt landing
Over and over and over and over again
Up and down we go.
Um, Jack.
Yeah Dad.
Brenin doesn't need any help.
Ok. -Pushes Brenin-
Nice.
You're welcome Bre-Nin!
(Brenin) Auugghhhh!

Learning to throw rocks. Such a boy thing.

Behold, there went out a sower to sow: And it came to pass, as he sowed.............
And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth.........

Camping World With the Turners

(warning; long post ahead)
We went camping this summer with our good friends from Wa, the Turners.

They have actually relocated to Boise, so we met them halfway at a Camping World near Tremonton.
Here is one of many pictures to come of the girls. Both beautiful, both tall, and friends since 1894. Or something like that.
In addition to a river, the place had a hot springs pool that was a lot of fun. The water tasted funny, but it was soooooo warm, it was delicious anyway.
Jack is such a good swimmer now, we love our little fish.
Heather liked the water, too.
This is Jack, before he ventures out to the sandpit. He had a lot of fun there with the boys,
Brenin and Logan.

Mmmmmmm, ribeye. Need I say more?
Also, grilled pineapple and roasted corn-on-the-cob.
Mmmmmmmm-corn.
We also found some wildlife besides the three monkey-boys we brought with us.
This snake was soooooo small. Do garden snakes even get big?
I mean, this guy was little.
Worst moment of this snakes' life.
AHHHHH!!! PLEASE DON'T EAT ME!!!
This shot is funny. I have some footage that I took of the girls right before this shot was taken. I walked up to them with the camera, and they thought that I was going to take a picture, so they started preening and tucking and getting ready, then I informed them that I was actually filming and not about to take a picture. Ha ha!!
Then I got this look. Oh boy, I'm gonna get it.
Brenin.
Logan, or Lo-lo. And yes, his parents are very exhausted.
Jack.
Dave found a bat. He was our friend. He ate a lot of bugs.
Here is his close up. What a great friend.
Dave was so good. He spent a lot of time with the boys.
Because camping is hard work. I don't remember it being so much work when I was a kid going with my parents, but that of course is because my parents were doing all the work. Now it's me and my Heather working it. Sheesh.
Awe, family camping picture with pretty sunset in the background. Thanks for the assist Mother Nature-you rock!
Classic.
This is my hair. This is my hair on camping. And Heather, still lookin' good.

Faces of Jack II

After breakfast one day, when Jack in his diaper and I in my cap-
Okay, just kidding, I don't wear a cap-I have no idea why I just wrote that, it's WAY too early for Christmas-when Jack and I were just hanging out after breakfast, I snagged some great shots of the boy.
Enjoy!

We're actually framed all of these in 8x11 and put them up in our place. Sure love this little guy.
