Lake Billy Chinook 2009

In August we took our Lake Billy Chinook trip and it was a blast!! We were gone for 8 days and had all three little boys with us which made for tons of fun. The weather was so nice and we spent our days on the lake on the boat and evenings at the camp fire. Thankfully all the kiddos were so worn out from the days activities that they went to bed early EVERY single night and the adults were able to relax and hang in the evenings. It was really funny because most nights Hayden would beg me to put him to bed. The other 2 little ones would already be in bed and we would try and get him to hang at the fire for a bit but most nights he didn't want to...he'd just beg to go to bed. So weird! I don't know any kid that begs to go to bed...however that boy loves his sleep! We had 3 camp sites with family and friends and Ryan's family was even able to make it over for half of the trip which was great! I always feel so blessed that my family and Ryan's family get along so well and are able to hang out together so much! We are already planning next vacations together! So nice for Hayden and Austin to be with both of their grandparents. One of the nights we had a porcupine in our camp. He didn't bother us at all and the guys even were standing right next to him. He had his head buried in a tree and so his hind end was just sticking out. It was crazy! Anyways, great trip with great memories and I can't wait to go back next summer!

This boy likes water more than anyone I've ever seen!
