Lindblom family camping July 11-13 (Thursday-Saturday)
Thanks to Marcie, family camping happened!
Here is just a sample of the junk I brought up to snack on.
I drove up with my kids on Thursday morning and Travis came that night after work.
The Figs did smash burgers for dinner Thursday night and we did breakfast burritos for dinner Saturday night. The Goodmans had their quads up there but Grandpa didn't bring his RZR. Tanner was obsessed with Della's quad. We played lots of games, had a super fun dance party with glow sticks one night and did a corn hole tournament the last day. I gave Olive my phone to copy a fun Instagram dance I had found, with all the grandkids. She directed it and those kids worked on it for two days. I edited all the dances together and it turned out really cute! The girls also had fun making "fairy houses" with bark and flowers and leaves. The biggest annoyance were these enormous black birds that started shrieking at 5am. They were seriously as big as cats. It woke me up and there was no going back to sleep but I was sooooo tired. In my annoyance, I finally got up and started tromping through the woods, chucking rocks at them. If I was a cursing woman, a stream of obscenities would have surrounded me. They'd fly to a nearby tree and keep up their devil screams so I'd hike over, heaving rocks as I went. What a scene I must have been. Someone the rest of camp was oblivious. Maybe it was their sweet campers keeping out the ruckus. Who knows. Oh to have had a gun on hand!!
We are tent campers so it's a lot of work making this happen but the kids love it and heck, so do I. We are blessed with wonderful family and I'm so grateful we get to make these memories.
Look at that sweet, dirt eyeliner on Tanner! ;)
