Last weekend James and Stephen were going to go camping just the two of them. But on Thursday night they decided that we should all go. The girls were all very excited about this, so we spent Friday morning cleaning up and packing and getting ready to go. James got home from work around 3:45 and we loaded up the Jeep and headed out. We went to Moose Creek Resevoir which is a beautiful little reservoir just outside of Bovill, ID, and about a 40 minute drive from Moscow. We didn't actually camp at the reservoir, we went a few miles on down the road and found a very nice secluded spot where we didn't see any other people the whole time we were there.
Within about 5 minutes of getting out of the Jeep, Stephen found a salamander.
James caught this frog and all the kids, but especially Noah and Naomi, were very fascinated.
Our camp site. We got rained on just during the night, but we were dry and cozy in our tent.
We borrowed this little row boat from some friends of ours in the ward, Weston Ricks who is originally from Teton and his wife Bridgette who grew up in Tullahoma. James took all the kids but Noah out on the lake Saturday morning and they had a wonderful time. Stephen and Annie got to help row. Then they explored a little island in the middle of the lake. They even got to see a bald eagle flying around and then it landed in a tree that was not too far away from them. This camping trip was a great start to our summer.

Oh, it sounds like the perfect campout. What great memories for the kids, and great pictures too.
