One more thing at Camp Tahosa...

This was just minutes before we left the camp because it was FREEZING cold. It had just started to snow and the winds were so strong that I could hardly stand straight. And then David decided to do THIS.

Camp Tahosa

For Memorial Day weekend, we drove down to David's brother's house in Denver Colorado and spent a few days at a nearby camp, called Camp Tahosa. Chris works for the Boy Scouts and had access to this beautiful campsite with a lake, great hikes, and very accommodating cabins. This was definitely my idea of camping.










We were able to use their canoes and take the girls across the lake.










Eloise is the EASIEST baby. What a blessing.


I remember when Hazel wouldn't touch a worm, but now she's a bug fanatic. And after fishing all evening with a bunch of boys, even Charlotte was excited about worms!





The kids got bug catchers from Gram and they were well used.


This is little Henry who used to try and tear off Charlotte's cheeks, but now he's sweeter and they play quite well together. He was VERY cute in front of the camera this weekend.




Homemade kites! I love Sam's socks in this picture.


We ate some glorious meals such as slow-cooked yak and peach cobbler in the crock pot.





Hazel and Sam. BFF





So this is a boy named Seth. He and his family are friends of Chris and Stacy and they joined us for the weekend. Seth showed Hazel the coolest spiders and bugs and won her little heart over. She talked about Seth for WEEKS after this trip.
We miss Seth.


On Sunday, Stacy prepared a scavenger hunt involving the scriptures for the kids.


It was a great Sunday activity with Starbursts at the end.






Sometimes Hazel sleeps with her eyes open. It was really freaking Kate out until I explained that she's done it since she was a baby. So funny.

Crazy cute girls

Here are some random photos of these incredibly cute, creative and crazy little girls. I LOVE having girls. Of course, I don't have anything else to compare it to, but I love their passion for coloring and drawing with rainbow crayons and covering themselves with sparkly stickers. I love the jewelry and dress-up and tea parties and tiaras. I love how Hazel is the organizer (her way or the highway) and Charlotte is the little mother, always taking care of Eloise. I love how Eloise thinks her sisters are hilarious and gets the giggles whenever they bounce around her, scaring her a little bit. They are amazing.


I found Twister at DI and Hazel was determined to win. Just like her daddy. I almost peed my pants when she pulled off this move. (Do you love my polka dot socks in the back ground?)


Sometimes David does bedtime so I can clean up and have a break. I love this picture.


Hello future plumber.


First pigtails. Oh my goodness.

Warning: the following picture is disgusting. Only look if you can stomach a little two year old girl COVERED in poop. I know this is gross, but I had to record it because this is for sure the worst it's ever been. Charlotte has a fascination with her poop and it's "spilled" out of her diaper a few times but NEVER has she rubbed it all over herself.
Hazel went in first and yelled downstairs, "Mom! Come look at Charlotte!"
David came it and nearly gagged and had to run back downstairs.
Yuck-a-muck.
