We went with some friends up to Pine Flats campground. (It’s a great place if you are looking for a campground near Boise. It even had a hot springs that you could hike to.) We had taken the kids previously on a one night camping trip with just our little family, but going with friends made it even more fun. As an added bonus, I only had to cook ONCE! The kids had a blast running around, throwing and losing Frisbees. Brayden especially loved catching itty-bitty frogs in a water bottle. Unfortunately for me, 5 survived the ride home, so I had to create a makeshift frog aquarium. And I hate to admit how many bugs I've tried catching just to feed the stinky things. Billy was disappointed that he didn't catch any fish in a stocked lake, but he continued trying even on our latest campout with my parents. Brooklyn loved running around with the kids. They all played together so nicely, it was "almost" like having a babysitter. Landon, well, the picture almost tells the story of how much fun he had in the dirt- almost… He also managed to nap a little, which was nice since he didn’t sleep well in the tent at night. It was so hot; I put the portacrib out under a tree. After about an hour of reminding him to go to sleep every time he popped his head up, he finally fell asleep. Meanwhile, I read a good book and enjoyed the nature all around.
