In spite of the weather forecast, we decided to head to Wyoming for the weekend. George wanted to fish and I wanted to relax with my kids and find time to read. It worked out well for both of us. The weather was crazy- we got dumped on by the rain, blown away by the wind (and a cold wind at that), but we got a little sunshine, as well.
I had planned on fishing, but I don't like the cold very much. So I ended up indoors most of the trip, reading. But the cold didn't stop George or Ryan. Ashley, Ryan's girlfriend, fished with them. She was a much better sport that me.
Jaqui loves camping! We put this little red sweater on her- not only to keep her warm,
but so that we can see her more easily.
My son, Nathan, and his gorgeous wife, Sheri, went as well.
I love having them around. They just make me feel good!
A man and his dog. Isn't this a great pic? Moqui always wants to be in the middle of everything!
Kaley has always loved being with her daddy.
The building of the campfire- first you need a guy who can saw the logs...
Then you need to gather little twigs and build them into a teepee...
Then you can add in sticks that are a little bigger...
And then you get to play with matches...
Smoke!!! That's a good sign...
Ta Da!!! And Kaley has mastered the flame!!!
Or was it Cassidy??
Who cares! We're all just glad for warmth. Good job girls!
We're hungry- where's the cook?
Good thing we brought along the husband-
otherwise we'd be eating hotdogs every night.
Geo always cooks for us.
Jaqui loves hamburgers! And this one is as big as she is!! AND she thinks it is for her!!!
I loved having Alissa with us this trip. Camping is one of her least favorite things, but she managed to be a good sport. She won't admit it, but I think she even had fun.
This is a good way to get warm- just climb inside somebody's jacket! :)
Moqui is the real dog in our family. And he knows it!
He keeps us all safe from all of the bad guys out there, as well as the kitties
and the mice. Good Boy!
Cassidy, my little fishergirl!
It turned out to be a great trip. In a way, the crappy weather just made it more of an adventure.

Just spending time together- enjoying it while it lasts, because the rain is on it's way.

I love you, Jaqui! But you can't come out. Daddy saw a bald eagle out here and we don't want you to be a snack for his babies!
Kaley "hung out" with her brother Nathan as much as possible this trip. It was totally cute!

Time for the master firebuilder to show us how it's done!
Nathan, Sheri and Kaley- taking a walk during a break from the rain.
We always snuggle Jaqui in the evenings. And she LOVES it!!
During the windy and rainy times, the kids all loaded up into the trailer to
play games. They played games for HOURS!
