-Fall Break Camping Trip-

We have been wanting to go camping for a long time and now when it is getting cold we finally found some time! We went over Fall Break past Hamlin Valley and just the three of us! We had a lot of fun with our little family! Carter was pure entertainment the whole time!
Driving up there we past this Ranch and they had the most beautiful fall trees! They were sunshine yellow and I just had to take a pic!
We just drove until we found a place that looked good! We actually got a good spot because there was a lot of wood around us already cut and sitting right by us so we didn't have to go get us some!
One thing we forgot was a table! So we had to cook everything on the ground!
McKay got a fire going and Carter thought it was pretty awesome!
Look at how big this picture makes him look, eating his hamburger all by himself! The hamburger is bigger than his hands!
Playing some baseball with a can we found laying around!
We had an elk by our campground! Which kinda freaked me out! We never actually saw it but we heard him on several occasions!
Enjoying the campfire before bedtime!
Lounge Lizard!
We roasted some marshmallows! Carter like them better not roasted!
We slept in the back of the Yukon on an air mattress! Carter slept like a log and McKay slept hiding under the blanket! It wasn't a cold evening or morning but at night it got so cold! We wished we would have brought more blankets! We know for next time though!
Next day was the start of deer hunt so we were out in our orange to be safe! Carter looked super cute in his!
Picking pine nuts for Gpa Jones! We didn't have much luck!
Carter found some sticks and this stump and started playing the drums!
He kept walking around the Yukon like he thought by the next time he made it around more people would be there or he would find toys! He had no such luck! So instead he would climb between the two coolers and play peek a boo or try to push them around!
He wandered away from us and plopped himself down... I guess he just needed Carter time!
Look Mom I am back! Dad is boring!
He loved this hat because it had a deer on the front! Look how cute he is all decked out in orange!
Finally we left when Carter started acting tired and sure enough not much into the ride he was out!
More of the beautiful trees on our way home!
Well hopefully we can do this more often and maybe get some others to come! The more the merrier right!

wish we could have been there. Love all the updates as I haven't checked in lately. Hope McKay had a good b-day. Carter is the cutest duck ever!
