1st Camping trip of the year

Now that we have our trailer we are always anxious to go out for our first camping trip and are not afraid to brave the weather. We knew it was going to be a little rainy, but that didn't stop us. We went with Eric's friends from work Jace and Ashley. A couple other friends from his work came up. We decided to go up Cub River, between Franklin, ID and Preston. We camped in a parking lot because everything was so wet. We left our house when the kids got out of school at 3:15 and picked them up with the truck and trailer and then headed up there. We were the first ones there, but soon Ashley and her little girl, Gianna, arrived. It sprinkled off and on, but when Jace arrived he put up his canopy and we just stayed huddled under the canopy and put it to the edge of the fire. Other than the rain it really wasn't too cold. 

We stayed up kind of late just visiting and having good time. It's just nice to enjoy the outdoors and good friends.

Saturday it rained until about 3:00 in the afternoon. We stayed in our trailers until the rain let up and then we were able to go outside. The kids couldn't wait to get on their bikes. Parker insisted that he still could ride his bike in the rain. Once he went out, he had about an inch of mud on his tires. 

Later that day Eric's friend Gary and Jaren came up with their trailers. There were a few other friends that came for a little bit and then left.

Of course, because we were going home on Sunday it was the nicest day. The sun was out and no rain. We still had a great time and glad that we went. Can't wait for our next trip.
