Last Weekend

This past weekend we ventured back out into the wild. Since camping went so well the first time we decided to try it again. We headed back to the same campground, Gold Basin off Mountain Loop Highway. This time we went with our good friends, Jon and Annie. I have to say that this was probably one of our best camping trips. We were all so bummed be forgot the cameras.

We headed up Friday evening and spent the night setting up camp, eating dinner and hanging around the campfire. Mike and I spent a good two hours trying to get Samuel to go down for the night, but once he was down he was out. Saturday morning we enjoyed breakfast and Samuel had a nap before we headed out for a hike. We went on a pretty easy trail out to Lake Boardman. It was beautiful. Mike, Jon, Samuel and Bailey headed into the water while Annie, Montana and I sat and enjoyed the sun. Samuel loved playing with the rocks and small sticks at the waters edge. I think we could have left him there all day. After awhile we headed back. Jon, Annie, Mike and Samuel headed down to the river when we got back while I elected to rest around camp while they were gone. Saturday night dinner was fantastic and Samuel went to be very easily! Sunday we cleaned up camp then headed over to a swimming hole for a few hours. It was a bit of a challenge to get to the hole, to say the least we were all wet despite not having on swimsuits, but enjoyed sitting and relaxing.

Hopefully, we will have one more trip in us this weekend. Kate and Addison are coming up and we would love to take them out and explore. Hopefully the weather will be kind and we will be able to find a campsite over the holiday.
