Family Camping

We decided last minute that we needed a family camping trip, just the 5 of us. We were able to borrow a friends tent trailer which was so wonderful to stay in. Thank you Ellis'! We headed up to Sly Park by Jenkinson Lake. What a beautiful place to camp, surrounded by wonderful smelling green pine trees and cool blue water. The weather was perfect, not too hot and not to cold. When we first got their we popped the tent, organized our things and got our toes wet. Actually, the kids and Jon got wet while I just got muddy.I slipped and fell in the mud...as did the kids. Thank goodness there isn't a picture of my muddy bum. As you can see, Taylee loves every minute of life as long as she is like this every other minute of her life.
Of course we took the stand up paddle board which was hit with a family we met up there.The Barton family was visiting Folsom for their son's marriage and sealing in the Sacramento Temple. What a wonderful nice family. Jon even let Rusty take a paddle on the board and he loved it. He did such a great job!After cleaning off the mud, Jon made dinner and built a fire. We roasted marshmellows and the kids had s'mores for the first time in their lives and they liked them. But what they mostly liked was the graham crackers. I have to include this cute picture of Brody on the "pink potty". What a silly guy...metabolism like daddy!
