camping. twenty-eleven.

Saturday morning, the kids and I headed up to the rim for the annual Stewart family camping trip just for the night. We arrived about lunch time, but everybody was at the lake. So the kids entertained themselves by throwing rocks into mud puddles and looking for birds in the trees. After a short while everyone was back and the fun began. Evelyn was taking a nap though, so sweet. We spent some time around camp, snacking of course, until Amy and Steph (along with Evelyn and baby Jenna) headed home before making our way to the lake.






Off to Willow Springs lake for a little fishing, rock skipping (or just throwing for the boys) and mushroom hunting. Kimble really wanted to go fishing, but was disappointed when she didn't get any bites. After a little exploring, we found a BB gun still loaded and broken fishing pole. Both discoveries kept the kids happy for a long time, giving us the opportunity to see the sun setting.
























Sunday morning was a time to relax around camp. After breakfast my Mom taught us a short lesson about the Kirkland temple. She even brought an activity, making a model of the temple that she found on their recent trip there. Kimble spent her time in the hammock mostly, Karter played with this dried flower (more like a stick really) and Koltyn took a short nap before hopping from chair to chair. We were sad to leave after lunch but happy that we could at least spend some time in the mountains.
