Siletz camping trip

We went camping this last weekend on the Siletz river near Moonshine, with a few friends. We had such a fun time. We could not keep the boys out of the river. They had a lil boat to peddle around in, a Zipline, horseshoe pit, yard golf, there was so much stuff to do.


We took the lil boat out to look for Crawdads(not sure if I spelled that right) The water was so clear you could see almost all the way down. Tate was leaning so far over he fell in, which we repeatedly told him would happen. Good thing for lifejackets. He listened better for a little bit after that.

The zipline looked like so much fun I didn't have a chance to go off it, but Eric did quite a few times. I didn't get pictures of it which I am totally bummed about, but Kenden and Tate both went off it too. Eric was about to go off and kenden wanted to go to so he held on to Erics neck. I don't think he knew exactly what he was getting himself into. It was like a 30 foot drop. I thought for sure he would come up out of the water coughing up water, but I was so proud of him he held his breathe and came up smiling. Since kenden went Tater had to go. He didn't swollow any water either and came up smiling too. He actually started heading back up the hill wanting to do it again. I'm so glad that my boys don't have a fear for water it's a little scary though. Cause they will not stay away from the water.

Mackensie one of our friends kids, who's 11. Caught some little fish for Kenden and Tate and put them in cups for them to carry around. They were so excited and would not put them down.Can you tell he's excited? Haha! When you tell him to give you his CCCCrrrazzyy eyes! This is what he does. He just makes me laugh!
When we are camping we usually don't get any sleep. Tate will wake up so early and will be soooo loud. and usually, when you tell him to use his quiet voice he gets louder. So I got up and took them for a walk so everyone else in our campsite could sleep. They had too take there latterns with them, of course. We didn't walk very far, but it took us awhile cause we had to stop and look at the cows and horses, Kenden told me that we really needed to find some goats. We didn't find any. We did find a whole army of red ants and we followed there trail searching for there anthill. Kenden told me that the ants were on fire cause they were fire ants. We headed back to our campsite after that. Everyone, but Eric was still sleeping. We loaded the boys up and headed into the huge town of Siletz,:) for some Strawberry milk. The boys love strawberry milk and have it every morning. So most the morning Tate wouldn't shut up about wanting milk... Now.All in all we had a great camping trip. We are definately gonna be going back there.

This was just a cute picture! Who in the heck gave this kid an oreo tho. Daddy probably! Bad Daddy! haha! just kidding. but really.......... Oreo's are bad!
