I was pretty apprehensive about our yearly camping trip during the elk hunt seeing that I was 8 months pregnant. We have it pretty nice, my dad brings both his trailers and my mom and I usually sleep in one with the kids while Jer and my dad sleep in the other one since they get up so early. This year, my mom slept on the big bed with both kids and I got to have a bed all to myself! Well, if you don’t count the baby taking up most of the room. I will say that I don’t think I’ll do that again being that pregnant. I hardly slept, was, of course, really uncomfortable, and the drive in and out was pretty bad with all the bumps! Despite that, the kids had a great time and the weather was really nice!
The kids got spoiled and got to drive the truck with Grandpa
My dad was hiking with the kids and they were walking along a log when suddenly a swarm of bees came and chased them. He grabbed both the kids under each arm and started running while Mason started crying that his back hurt. When he felt they were a safe distance away, he set Mason down and told him to keep running. That’s when Mason started saying his hand hurt, too! Meanwhile, me and Jer were back at the camp rolling our eyes, thinking he was crying over nothing! We felt a little bad when they got back and showed us the damages! It turned out that while my dad was running with both kids, the bee’s were chasing them and one stung Mason on his back. Then once they were pretty far away and he set him down, one STILL came and stung Mason in the hand!! They chased them a pretty long way! Kinley somehow made it though without any stings and my dad ended up with a little bit of a swollen nose (hehe!) Luckily we discovered Mason isn’t allergic to bee stings! It’s kind of hard to see them on the pictures.
My dad’s favorite thing to do is paint Kinley’s toe’s and finger’s. So manly! (hehe)
Mason stole my camera and took LOTS of pictures of everything!
Here’s a few of his best!
And just playing around camp!
Always a good time!
