IS THIS LIVIN' OR IS THIS LIVIN'

I am dedicating the title of this post to Denise Coleman. She said, "Is this livin', or is this livin'?" about 5o times this weekend! How cute huh?

We had so much fun...unfortunately our camera died after the first couple of hours we were there. Oh well...

This last weekend we went camping with Justin's boss, (Scott Coleman) and his family. We camped at one of their favorite spots, Dairy Creek Campground in Spencer, Idaho. It is tradition for the Coleman's to go to this spot with their good friends Burt and Mona Taylor. This camping trip was nothing I've ever experienced before. Scott and Denise Coleman came and invited their three kids, Greg, Tresa, and Gary, and they all brought their kids, GK, Tori, and Cooper. Then the Taylor's came with 4 out of their 5 kids, and they all brought their kids....(I'm not even going to try to name them all, the minimum children per family was three...) And then there was us. At one point on our trip I thought...this is the first time it's been loud when I've camped. There was a lot of people... There were 3 campers, 5 tents, 2 trailors, 7 trucks, 2 cars, 5 four wheelers, 4 motor bikes, and a whole lot more! Because of all the comotion it was the first time in a long time where Aydan was a total LAP PUPPY! He did not leave our side. There was just too much to watch and stare at. If he did venture out, it wasn't very far. It was so cute! I have never seen my family so dirty! It rained a lot while we were there, which caused everything to be MUDDY!It was so fun! Baby wipes were my best friend.
Over the course of the weekend we set up camp, ate food, went fishing, caught fish, went on a hike, played in the creek, picked flowers (danilions), dug in the mud, played games, road motor bikes, went on four wheely rides, shot guns, played in the trucks, sang songs, saw and heard cranes, saw a moose, heard cyotte's howling, celebrated a birthday, played with frogs, collected worms, sat by the fire, rosted marshmallow's, froze our butts off at night, talked, joked, and laughed together! We had a blast just livin' the good life, and enjoying it too!!
We are sooooo doing it again!! Thanks for a awesome experience everyone!!
Too bad our camera died...: ( But, here are a few pics I did take...

Here is Aydan fishing with Scotty (that's what Aydan called him). Not only was this his first time fishing...he actually caught his first fish!! YAY! The look on Aydan's face when that wiggly fish jumped up out of that water, will forever be a memory!!

Fun Fact: Gary (Scott's son) and Justin have been really good friends for a long time and Gary's wife Kara is expecting as well. She is about three weeks ahead of me. We are so excited to be having kids so close together.

Aydan really wanted to play in the trucks all weekend, but he was just too dang muddy!
