Dillon and Christie

Our sweet family and life adventures.

Camping with the Gublers = Fun Times!

By

Sabra and I had talked about going camping together sometime this summer, since it makes perfect sense with us all getting along so well—even the hubbies like each other so it’s a great combination of our kids being friends, Sabra and I being friends, and the men.  Perfect!  It actually happened—they invited us to go camping at Little Deer Creek up by Heber.  It was really pretty and just a fun, relaxing time.

Devon loved the hammocks that Dillon and Damon brought.

They made us a yummy dutch oven dinner that we stuffed ourselves on.  There was some left for the squirrels.

Look at the size of the marshmallows Sabra’s sister left for us!!!  It’s crazy how big they were!DSCF0163
Check out Bailey’s forehead.  I’m not sure, but I think it was the marshmallow stick after being in the dirt, that did that.DSCF0164
The boys all get along really great.

It was cold and guess who’s two little backpacks were sitting at home, all nice and packed but their mom forgot to bring it?  You guessed it.  Sabra totally forgot her kids’ clothes so they froze.  And it was sad. 
JUST KIDDING.  But it really happened, only I was the one who forgot to grab the packed bags with all the boys’ stuff in them.  Sabra would never do that.  I would, apparently.  Luckily she had some extra jackets for her boys and Dillon and I gave up our jammie bottoms for them to wear.  And it was cold!  The boys had to go in the camper (not ours) to stay warm while we sat around the fire.

The next morning, Devon kept saying he was SO TIRED.  So he slept all morning, which kind of limited us to what we could do.  That night we took him to the doctor and he had strep.  Again.  And they said he should probably have his tonsils removed since he gets it about every 3 months.

Bailey and Dad hanging in the hammock.  Bailey wears everyone’s shoes but her own.  She won’t keep hers on!

These next two pics make me laugh.  I don’t know what she was getting out of her toes.  Her feet were actually pretty clean at this point.

Poor Bailey.  Her mean momma wanted to hold her for a picture together. She wasn’t happy.  What a Daddy’s Girl she is!

What’s that noise?

We took a hike to see the beaver dam that was close by.  The valley was so green and beautiful!

We love this family!  They are so much fun to be around.  We definitely want to go again this summer!  For longer, like you said:).

On the way home we had to stop at Cabela’s, which was really fun.  The shooting range, the fish, and all the animals were awesome.  We fed the fish and the kids loved that.  Seriously such a fun, free thing to do with the fam!  We went to Iceburg after that, shared a couple shakes, and went home.  I love spending time with my family!

  2. Fun! I LOVE camping. It makes me sad that the summer time seems to get so busy that we never seem to get to go as often as we would like. We also have discovered those huge marshmallows. They are so great!

  3. How FUN! Camping is always better with awesome people to go with!

    P.S. I always notice Bailey's clean toes…now I know WHY they're so clean!
