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.

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.

P.S. We need to do a trip. A couples trip and a family trip. Yes we do.
