Back To Pinetop

For Mother's Day weekend, I compromised and we towed our trailer up to Pinetop to leave for the summer.  The boys (Trevor included) have been DYING to go "camping."  I was a little nervous for all of us to sleep in the trailer together with the baby.  This was his first camping trip.  I wasn't sure how much sleep we would actually get, especially since the boys like to get up early with the sun.  It ended up not being so bad, especially since it was only for 2 nights.

This turned out to be a pretty handy place to stick him!  I'm glad we brought it. 

He loved being outside.

Trevor's parents were up there as well.  It was fun spend some time together!

The days were a lot warmer than I thought they would be.  Unfortunately I only packed long sleeves & pants for Adam.  I had to de-pants him by noon.  Luckily I found an emergency onesie in the diaper bag for him to wear the next day.

Hunter decided this rusty old can was the perfect place to store the grasshopper he had found.  I decided he needed a more appropriate (and kid-friendly) container, so we went to the dollar store (a favorite Pinetop tradition) and got some decent bug holders.

They found this "elk bone" (Hunter called it that all weekend) on one of their nature walks.  I cringed every time I saw that thing.  Imagine all the germs on it!!!

BB gun shooting..another favorite Pinetop tradition.

I love how Hunter smashes his other eye against the gun to aim.

Gross.  Bleh!

Another kind of gross. 

 It was so nice to be able to bathe the forest off of them at night!

Happy Mother's Day!! 

Does Jacob look really old in this picture?? 

Trevor took me out to breakfast at Darby's (LOVED IT) and his parents graciously watched all the boys for us so we could go alone (LOVED IT MORE).  It was so nice to have a break and enjoy some rare alone time together!  I told Trevor to remind me to get a picture with my boys on Mother's Day before we left, which he didn't.  I remembered after I had strapped them all in the car to go home.  Doh!!!  I knew I would regret it forever, so I made everyone get out of the car and pose for my Mother's Day picture.

We picked up this stranger on the road. 

Jacob got these at the dollar store.  He told me he knew what he was going to be for Halloween... 

A Grown Up!!

Adam didn't do so well on the way home.  He cried for the last half of the trip.  He had enough of the car!  It was not fun to listen to him cry himself to sleep (he only stayed asleep for maybe 30 mins).  I NEVER have to listen to him cry cause he is SUCH a good baby.  I felt really bad for him.  We stopped a few times to try and feed him, but he didn't want to eat.  He just wanted to be DONE with the car seat!  We were so relieved to finally pull into our driveway!
