Warm Lake Trip

So this July Debbie from my work asked us to go camping (well we were supposed to go in June but t-ball kindof took over June) we went up to Warm Lake which is like a little under an hour out of Cascade. We left our house a little late and when we got to warm lake we drove around and around looking for the camp site we were going to meet Debbie at. We pulled up to the site and its a good thing I knew what her car looked like or we would have gotten out and set up in some ones else's site :) So we figured we were at the wrong site had to turn around to the main road, drove like 2 more min. and ended up where we should have been, if we would have been more patient and kept driving we could have saved ourselves a little time :) We finally got to the site around 845 and set up camp, started a fire and went to bed. The next morning we woke up and got to see our site, it was gorgeous there was a creek and a little area right next to our site, like 40 feet away (ok, this could be anywhere from 2 to 200 feet off for all I know) anyway, and we were so close to it that if anyone wanted to use that spot they would have to walk through our camp so we had it all to ourselves :) fun!! Here are some pictures, mine don't do it justice, Debbie's are better but I can't find the CD... Opps!

The boys had a lot of fun playing in the stream...

We got in the stream later that day and it was FREEZING! Like take your breath away freezing, Kyle cried when he got in, OK, not really but you could imagine what it would be like if he did!! Anyway so it was more a throwing rocks in stream :) But fun none the less. Later that day we painted t-shirts, I had them laying around and wanted to do the paints but didn't want to deal with the mess, So I figured why not do it up camping? like no clean up! Odd activity for camping trip I know (side note, Gannon just came to tell on Jackson because Jackson bit his nose... Too funny!) Anyway, here are some pics...

Apparently Braxten sniffs paint?!?!

I was so proud of Kyle :) Love ya babe!

We decided to go for a short hike...

which was seriously like 4 min because we realized that we hadn't reapplied the sunscreen and bug spray so we went back to camp, than Jackson got hungry, so we fed him...

Than we headed out again

we took a short walk to what ended up being a small really crowded beach so we went back to camp ate lunch, had Gannon lay down for a nap and than headed out to find some water the boys could play in, we decided to drive to where me and Kyle thought we were camping to find a place to swim

we found a gorgeous place that thankfully was not crowded in the least since we got there so late

Now I want you to take a second and look at this next picture, look at the background and see how beautiful this lake is! Than notice that all those trees on the hills are burnt, there was a huge fire in this area last year and as we were driving up all of a sudden everything was just burnt, it was crazy! Anyway, back to the picture, please now bring your attention to the people in the picture on your right I would like to point out... YEP, Kyle picking his nose! No, he isn't I even zoomed in to see it, he is scratching his lip or something but I still think its funny... Probably because I am immature :)
Than we headed back and had some smores, went to bed, got up and packed!! It was a wonderful camping trip, so very relaxing, and the weather was perfect. Here are some more pics...

Debbie's baby Punky!


So I feel like I have to write something at the end of the post or it wont truly be the end.
