Last week we traveled north to the rim for the annual Stewart family camping trip. We wanted to leave Friday morning, but had some car trouble so we didn't get off until lunch time. As soon as we got there we starting working on getting the tent put up while the kids joined their cousins in playing around camp. Koltyn played for a little while, but soon found helping Daddy with the tent stakes was more fun.
The kids found this fallen tree and began to rip chunks of the bark off to create a "club house". Karter was pretty good at taking off pieces bigger than himself and carrying them all the way over to the special spot. They were able to get all the bark off eventually, they worked on it off and on for two days! It kept them busy and they found lots of bugs.
While the kids were not messing with the fallen tree, we were playing lots of volleyball and badminton. I couldn't resist playing with them, it brought back some fond memories of high school. Kimble was getting pretty good by the time we left.
Our after dinner activity for the night was freshly popped popcorn and a movie. My parents pulled the tv out of their trailer and we all set up our chairs around it. Apparently, A Bug's Life is a big hit with the kids when they get to watch it outside, in a forest.
