Oh Memories

So I was sitting here with my little brother looking at pictures, when I decided I wanted to let everyone know about my favorite camping trip EVER. First of all, some pics.

Question, how many Hopkins does it take to open a gate?

Answer: 4 cars, 3 cell phones with no service, 13 frustrated people and 1 experienced lock picker named Ryan. It took about 30 min. to realize the code we had was switched around, and figure out which numbers were true. Great fun.


And we've arrived!!! It was a great cabin, complete with several beds, a couch, warming items, fridge, tables, and recliners. We were living the high life. Notice the only thing missing is a flushing toilet...

Getting in some shooting practice!!! They were aiming for a bird hidden in the trees, but don't worry, the closest they got was a tree about 30 feet away!!! But it made the boys feel manly.



Campfires at night were always fun. Did you know dead pineneedles light up like no tomorrow? The last night we were there we grabbed all of the biggest branches and piled them in, creating the bonfire of the century. Besides, who would want to miss out on our family sitting around the fire singing along to kumbaya and the wheels on the bus go round and round? Definitely some good blackmail footage.

Last, but certaintly not least, our camping trip landed on the 4th birthday of Halle. We celebr

ated it with lots of fun and presents. Ethan stole the spatula and wiped chocolate all over his face, but that's what you're supposed to do while camping, right?

The present she is so lovingly clutching was given to her by her amazing aunt, Sharise.
