Camp outs with the Carters

THE 24th

So after this first pic i really could close this blog post with the BEST camp trip EVER!!!!!! Seriously if i wasn't long winded this would be over!!! But since i am here it goes. Instead of our usual camp spot we ventured out to where we hunted deer last year up Heber. Little did i know the happiness this spot would bring. What happiness you may ask? MOOSE in our camp! Yeah that's right. 6:30 am and Kev comes whisper/yelling so like whisperelling on the outside of the tent. "Shar get out here NOW there is a Moose" I swear it all went blank i flew out of my very snug sleep (o.k. worse sleep ever) in socks and all and ran out o see this.... It was better than, well alot of things! Davis said after this fun event ( that he didn't even see since he would rather have stayed nestled in his sleeping bag) "mom your dream came true. You seen a moose in the wild" and he was right. Thinking we would not see one i said on the way up "It would be the best ever just to see ONE moose in the wild. Well my friends we didn't only see two but we seen 3!!!! One later on that night and Kev and the kids (minus Davis and I) seen 1 the next morning. What a campout!!

Truth be told there were alot of great things about this spot. For instance the beaver ponds. Come on who does not love Kevin taking them on a hike to the beaver ponds and schooling them on all the importance's of dam's and frogs and so on. This was a very educational time people! O and a bit fun for all too!

Whats this??? A porcupine?? Why yes it is. In camp? Why yes to that too.

You now may be asking yourself why the awesome pic of the Repel? Is it because its the newest scent i prefer? Um no! Its because the one downfall..actually the ONLY downfall was the mosquito's!!!! O MY HOLY FREAKING CRAP!!!! No Repel, Off, Skin so Soft, or personal body net could keep these things off!! They were horrible. Something none of us were at all use to at that extent camping. But again i remind you of the moose. Were they worth it? Lets not awnser er that.

Also a little work and alot of fun play are always in store with good company. Family really is the key to having a good time.
We were also so lucky to have my brothers daughter Delaney come with us. She was so much fun and took every bit of this camp trip in! Every night she informed us she did not know how she was going to "top" this camp trip. I loved it!

The 4th

What a fun relaxing getaway this weekend was. Even though we had to make it a short one with hay to haul at home, it was still nice to get out with family and be in the beautiful mountains!

I would have to say the worst part about camping this year was Kevs parents not being there. With Kev's dad's surgery he is not able to get out and come up to the mountains. Things were a bit different not having them there. I do have to say though. Wendy really stepped up to the plate and covered the Mary portion of camping with games and activities. We all had such a good time thanks to Wendy! We hope things can get better and they will beable to get back out with us once again.
