Pine Flats Camping

We had a great time with the boys while camping at Pine Flats near Loman, ID. We had quite the set up, thanks to Ross for our shade. The campground was so nice with lots of pine trees and a pump for fresh water, which made washing and cooking so much more convenient. We enjoyed a couple small hikes with the boys, Ross got quite the workout while carrying Dallin in the pack, he's getting to be such a big boy. Reed was a good sport through it all, he spend time in his playpen by the fire, and locked into his car seat for meal time, the last day we really let him get dirty and he loved trying to eat all the bark and rocks he could find. Dallin loved hiking. He loved playing with the snake grass and searching for spider webs in the trees. We saw some beautiful butterflies on our walk and snapped a picture of a couple. The weather was wonderful and we so enjoyed our time at the nearby hot springs. We spent time at the Kirkham and Bonneville Hot Springs, and we'd have to say that Kirkham was the funnest for us and our kids. It took the boys a while to enjoy it, the roar of the river was an experience in itself but by the end Dallin was laughing in the waterfalls and Reed was asleep in my arms. We simply had a great time and look forward to more camping trips as the years go on.

I sure think that is a great idea to feed the baby in the carseat. We did the camping thing a week ago and Abigail got so....dirty. I'm so impressed you are starting your traditions now. We really didn't do a lot of camping until recently and we wish we would have.
We have a blog as well just for our family it's
