Camping Trip and Other Updates


 We went to the 1000 Springs Resort to do some more car camping. We were right on the Snake River and the kids had a blast eating dinner and breakfast out on the dock. The weather was beautiful so we didn't put up the rain fly so when I woke up to hear coyotes/foxes/wolves howling I got to look up at the beautiful stars. We could also hear the waterfalls on the other side of the river. It was great. Saturday we went on a hike over really rocky terrain. We found the bones of a duck and several other dead animals. We also saw two Osprey circling around their nest only about 30 feet above us! Ruth and Will did a great job not complaining on our hike and loved exploring and throwing rocks into the water. It was a hot day but we had a nice breeze on our walk back to the car. Claire also did great on the hike...she fell asleep! Also, I invested in spray sunscreen and will never go back to normal sunscreen.

In other news, Claire turned one! Here's a picture of her birthday ice cream sundae.

And Ruth is the queen of the flower people
