CAMPING...with the Balls

This camping trip happened a little over a month ago. Having 3 kids really limits the time I can spend on the computer. My blogging has taken a backseat. So much has happened in the last few months, and so many pictures have been taken. I WILL catch up!

CAMPING...with the Balls!

This was one of the funnest times I have ever had camping! Our friends, who are avid campers, invited us to go with them one weekend. Elley claims their oldest son as her boyfriend and they were just dying to have a camping trip this summer. Sit back and enjoy this post, because theres a butt load of pictures you're about to see.

Our drive up there was pretty, we almost felt like we weren't in Idaho. I guess we just need to drive a few miles out of Boise to see the beauty of this state.

Before going to the campground, we stopped at Redfish Lake. What a pretty lake it was...cold, but very pretty

We were in charge of dinner the night we got there. Adam made hamburgers and corn on the cob. It looks as though Josh took over at one point because Adam had a really cool story to tell.

This is Molly's back after sitting in one of the hot springs. Doesn't it look like neapolitan ice cream? Chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Her chocolate tan, her vanilla skin, and her strawberry bottom from sitting in the hot water.

Addison was the worst sleeper this night. So, of course, here she is sleeping in the morning after we all got up for the day.

some lazy campers

this is Hunter sitting in the "time out" spot. Molly sat there quite a bit on our overnight stay.

our last thing to do before heading home was ice cream at the lodge

This was 2 minutes into our car ride home. The girls were pooped!

We had such a great time and hope that next summer we get to go again. We love the Balls and are so glad we got to share this fun trip with them!
