Camping in WY

Over the weekend we went camping up in WY. We haven't been able to go for a couple of years so we were pretty excited that Chlo could finally go. All of the girls have been begging to go for quite a while. It was also Rhen's first campout and he loved it. We'll have to remember next time not to give him a jolly rancher because he quickly became a dirt magnet.

Rhen wouldn't eat his breakfast, but when i opened the cooler and he saw the left over hot dog from the night before he was pretty excited. Yeah, i let him eat it raw. And he washed it down with orange juice. It was probably as gross as it sounds, but he was a happy camper.

A little frustrated after many attempts to thread the cap onto the threads. This kept him occupied for a while.

Beating up Moose.

Relaxing with Mom by the fire.

Elsie - the queen of marshmellow cooking. If she torches the outer shell, she cooks it for a second try.

Elsie riding around the place. Chloe spent the whole time riding around on her bike and exploring in the woods so we only have a couple of pics of her. She had so much fun and was sad to leave.

Chlo-pants. Finally caught her by a tree and took a pic. I think this girl is more excited to go to school than any kid I have ever met.

Addie. She's blowing out the flame.

I asked Addie to make a really serious, annoyed with her dorky dad face. I think she nailed it.

This was Elsie's attempt at being annoyed with me. She keeps telling us all about the things she will do when she is a teenager. It has us a bit worried. Maybe she should focus on the now.
