Campin' with D and T

This past weekend we went camping with these 2 awesome people--my brother Derek and his wife Tansy. The weather was perfect (except for raining out lunch on Saturday), the campsite was beautiful and the company was terrific. You can't ask for more than that!





(Hee! Hee! I told you I'd put that one on the blog!)

This was our campsite. (D & T's tent is way down at the other end under the trees.)



Our campsite was right next to a beautiful creek.





Tyler loved crawling everywhere and even tried to take on a steep hill.







Bringing in the wood.





Tyler loved Derek's fast and crazy rides.



Hanging out with Tansy.



Tyler loved watching Derek and Tansy play frisbee and would giggle and giggle.



Darrell of da 'hood!



Here's Derek scaling the mountain on the other side of the creek.



When Tyler wasn't playing in the dirt, he loved hanging out on the table. (I tell you, why buy toys when spoons and toothbrushes do the trick?)







Tansy and her super comfy hammock.



Hanging out in the tent.



A tuckered boy. (Too bad I didn't see this much between 2:30-4:00 a.m. that night when Tyler thought it would be fun to laugh, talk and crawl around the pitch black tent!)



We took a short ride to a nearby reservoir. Tyler thought it was pretty cool to put your hands and feet in the water.





Although I don't have many pictures of us eating, we really enjoyed the food: dutch oven chicken and rice, pancakes, eggs and sausage, ham and turkey wraps, hamburgers and a dutch oven dessert. Plus it wouldn't be camping without s'mores and roasted marshmallows! Here is Derek flipping the pancakes.

We had such a fun time it was hard to see it come to an end. We're especially sad that D and T are moving on to bigger and better things and won't be here to do a repeat next year.



(A big thanks to my friend Stacy who took this picture. Coincidentally she and her family were in the campsite next to ours.)
