Jones Creek Camping Trip

This past weekend we took the boys camping
 at Jones Creek Campground.
 They all helped Daddy put up the tent.
Our Tent 
  The kids were excited to camp with their friends.
The first night we roasted marshmallows
 and made smores.
 Marshall wanted one too!

 A Boy and His Trucks
 The mornings were a little chilly, so the kiddos huddled by the fire.
 Staying Warm
 Marshall learned to stand by himself during this trip.
 The mommas watched the kids,
 as they played in the creek.
 Time to get warm again!
 One morning we made snack necklaces,
 out of all types of treats.
 The kids wearing their necklaces.
 Then we packed up the little ones
 took our snack necklaces
 and went for a walk.
 The trails ran along the river.
 We took the kids to the Forest Center.
 There was a lot to see.
 Cute Friends
  Hands On Exhibits 
We hiked to the top of the tower.

 Kids at the top!
 We found an amphitheater and the daddies put on a skit.
 Marshall thought it was quite good!
 Then the kids put on a skit.  I'm not quite sure what was happening in it, but they were having fun!
 In the afternoon, the mommas got to play cards,
 while the daddies took the kiddos to the river.
  Lots of Fishing

 The campsite was busy all the time!
 Sterling LOVED camping!
 On Sunday we went for a 4 mile hike.

These two got tired!

 Marshall was a camping rockstar!
 It was so fun to watch the kids and their sweet friends.
 These two were quite the pals.

The river was a favorite place to hang out at.
