We have been wanting to go on a great vacation this summer and realized that we only really had this last weekend left. I was pushing for Lagoon and a trip to SLC, BUT Dave had another idea... CAMPING!!!
I have to say that I grew up camping, in a trailer of course. We did do the tent thing too when I was little. It was never really my thing. I was the girl in the trailer playing cards or reading a book. I didn't really enjoy fishing, but I do love being outside hiking, and of course smelling like camp fire in order to eat my smores.
This trip, we did it all. BUT, we also had a cabin, which made it sooooo nice! It still qualifies as camping because we slept in sleeping bags and had to use an outhouse. We went to Silver Creek Plunge and it was beautiful. There was a river, which we fished in quite a bit. There was a playground, a hot spring, and lots of dirt and sticks for the kids to play with. We loved it and it was such a good get away for our family. We are official campers and will make this a new tradition that we do every summer. I cannot wait to explore and see all the beauty Idaho has to offer that we have been missing out on. It was sooooo much work to get there, and more work when I got home (like 100 loads of laundry I swear) but we had a great trip!!!
Our humble abode:
Fishing and fun!

I'm so glad you were spontaneous and had fun camping! I am totally with you on the smore thing....that's the only reason I like to camp!
Wow what campers you are! You should have made a pile with all your tags and taken a picture!!! Haha Just kidding! I told Rob you dont look like your fishing you look like your modeling! And I LOVE Macy's boots! Classic! Now that is something we could make a trip to Idaho for!
so glad you had fun! I want to know if you ate that fish?!
K I just read your comment and I was laughing so hard cuz I feel the SAME EXACT way! I think we ALL sruggle with all that crap it just seems like no one else does! I do have a fire proof vase but not 250lbs of wheat! See you will survive and I will die of starvation. And you thought you were behind:)
What a fun trip! I am not much of a camper either but i married one so i don't get much of a choice...Oh well, it always ends up being a lot more fun than it sounds, huh?
Camping in a cabin would be my ideal...but, we've enjoyed ruffing it in tents! You guys should take a camping trip with us out to Pine Valley next summer. When St.George is 109 degrees, it's great to get away! Looks like you had fun!
we love silver creek plunge! although the road to get up there is really bad, especially pulling a trailer. Glad you guys had fun!
I love the deep "A line" cabin-so
7o's and so sweet! I'm glad you were able to squeeze in a fun vacation before school starts up. Seriously, Macey is already THAT big? I can't believe it!
Lindz, what up girl. love the blog. you need to start eating, you're getting way too skinny. love angie
i guess those other people are not really going to say it, so i will, sleeping in a cabin IS NOT CAMPING. there, just had to say it. still love your face.
was that rude? didnt mean to be rude. you CRACK ME UP! LOVE YA!
camping? You cant call a stove, a kitchen table, and a roof camping! You pansie! At least you had a good time thought right?
I love camping, and now that I know you guys are campers, we should plan a trip together! We are going this weekend up to McCall with all the crazies-or should I say we are crazy for going with a baby?!
Oh, no boot camp in Sept. It's getting way to dark in the AM, I need your phone number again though because I'm doing this jewelry party with a friend in 2 weeks and want to give you an invite...It's called Twisted Silver and it's the hottest, most unique jewelry ever. You can check it out on the website (she's a friend of mine!): twisted-silver.com. CALL ME!!! :) 846-9526

I love camping, unfortunatly we don't get to go very often. I went tons when I was a kid. Enjoy it, it makes great memories.
Hey, thanks for your number. I will call you on Tuesday after the crazy weekend is over. Let's definitely do lunch! I'm all for it! Or even Yogees, that's our fav new spot! I met a girl in your ward that says she's good friends with you-Shelly something rather? She's got a little boy, Britton that is in Austin's preschool class at Small Hands. Small world, huh? :)
