For Eric's 40th birthday, instead of a party, he opted for a 5 day camping trip with his family on the St. Joe River in St. Marie's, Idaho. It was a blast and we really enjoyed the get away.
Uncle Randy, Cousin Travis (Randy & Mameka's son), Forrest (Travis' son), Bob, Eric, Bitty, Aunt Mameka (Trudi's sister), Cambria (Travis' daughter), Trudi & LindyJean, and me!
We loaded up at 5 am on Wednesday morning for the 4 hour drive. Once your child is potty-trained road trips become so much longer... it took us 5.5 hrs to get there!
Eric's best pal, Rob, and his wife and two daughters also came! McKenna is 18 months and crazy. She is afraid of nothing and totally dangerous. You LITERALLY cannot take your eyes off of her for more than 5 seconds or she is jumping off of stairs, throwing herself in the river, running away, or other escapist acts that are VERY scary while camping.
I told Bitty she could hold the marshmallows and I would carry the chocolate and grahams. The minute I gave them to her, she motored off as fast as she possibly could screaming "Mallows, mallows, malllllllooooooooows!"
Bitty, Cambria, Brooke (Rob's oldest daughter, she is four), and LindyJean.
Eric shooting the AR-15 and Travis spotting.
Bitty "driving" the ATV.
Eric fishin'. He was throwing back the fishes and Bitty would get real angry every time he did. She would holler, "That's my fishy, what you do that for Daddy!???!?!?"
After arriving, went swimming and Adelaide ran about the camp totally naked drinking her "cocktail." I couldn't get her to put any clothes on. What a kid.
