The food always tastes better when you are camping! Each family was in charge of one breakfast, lunch and dinner. Needless to say we ate really well. Krissy made tin foil dinners for her dinner and we helped her make scones to go with them. They were DELICIOUS!!! (Note - if you ever want a picture that shows lots of emotion just take it of Kassie. More great facial expressions to come in this post.)
The kids loved our campsite. We had plenty of rocks to play with. We actually had a nice wooded area to the south of us so the kids played in the woods most of the time we were in camp. On the last night the kids all got glow sticks and had a great time running around in the dark.
You can't go camping without having a campfire.
Another great facial expression from Kassie.
Allie didn't like the popping the fire would make. It would scare her and she would hide her face and make Jason put his hands over her ears.
Monkey in the tree.
Krissy, my sister, and I. I think we look a lot a like in this picture.
The whole gang!

I don't have any pictures from our drive home but it was somewhat eventful. We didn't have any flat tires which was a nice change. (On the way out we lost the tread on one of the tires.) We took two days to drive home. We made it just past Missoula on Saturday. We stopped at a campsite for the night but it was all full. (seems to be the theme for this trip) So we headed further down the road and decided to stop at a rest stop. We all slept in the motor home which wouldn't have been so bad except it was hot so we had the windows open and this big semi truck pulled up next to us. He was having problems with his brakes and kept releasing the air out of them. It was extremely loud. Finally after about an hour and a half of trying to go to sleep my Dad comes up to the front and says. "We are driving on! Between the trucker outside, Kassie getting up and going to the bathroom 3 times and your mother who can't get comfortable there is no point to even pretend to get some sleep!" So we drove further down the road to the next rest stop. It was much quieter and cooler. Ironically Mikele had no problem falling asleep at the first stop and was snoring contently.
Sunday we finished the drive to Blackfoot, had lunch, unloaded the motor home, loaded the van and finished our last two hours home. It was a great trip but I am sure glad to have all 1500 miles of driving behind us!

That same thing happens to us every year. We say we want to go camping lots during the summer, and it really never happens. Looks like a fun trip. And yes, Kassie has the most animated expressions ever!
What a fun road trip. I would love to do something like that!
