For Father's Day we went camping with friends for the weekend. They go every summer and we got to tag along as well. We have been looking forward to this for a few months, since it had been about 2 years since we had been camping. It was Brooklyn's first camping trip and our first as parents. The weather was not so great it rained off and on the entire weekend. It got down in the 30's at night so it was a little hard to try and keep B warm at night and not get her all tangled in the blankets. The first night was rough, then our air mattress was no good so we had a hard time sleeping on the packed dirt, but the company and scenery made it all worth it. Even though it rained we were still able to go fishing, take walks, bike ride,play games and have great dutch oven cooking!

We stopped off the highway to stretch and feed Brooklyn.

Some scenery on the way to Stanley, so beautiful and only 3 hours away!


The boys playing Cribbage - to much math for me, but everyone had fun playing it.

The only picture I could get of both Garrett and Brooklyn looking up. Brooklyn was more interested in the toys and Garrett was always happy to smile for the camera.

Danny took B on a bike ride and took these pictures as a surprise for me. She wasn't to sure of the feel of the sand in her hands, but took cute pictures.


Marin enjoying the sun breaking through for 2 minutes.

The first lake we attempted to go fishing at - Lake Pettit. No one was on the Lake it was so peaceful and beautiful. We could see the fish jumping, but could not cast far enough.

Brooklyn and Daddy fishing at Stanley Lake. Danny was hoping she was going to be his good luck charm, no such luck!


Matt and Sara the experienced fishermen, they were nice enough to let us tag along. After we left they went to a pond and caught lots of Trout, guess we were bad luck!


Trying to keep B warm at night. Thank you Peggy for the hat that goes under the beanie it was great to keep her head extra warm during the day and the only thing she could not pull off her head at night.

Sara, B, Perry and Angie keeping warm by the fire.

Father's Day morning, such a proud Daddy

Our drive home, so beautiful we would like to go back later this summer when it is warmer. So much beautiful scenery to enjoy!

What an absolutely beautiful place! How fun for you to go. I would trade the dessert sand for those mountains anyday! It is really hard to imagine anywhere being cold right now. It cooled down to 93 tonight here in Mesquite.
