Sand Hollow

I've decided I have a 'Love Hate' relationship with camping.

 

Love this:

Not so much this:

(The insane amount of clean up, from just one night of camping)

 

Love waking up by a lake, and spending the day like this: 

 

 Not so much all the laundry the day we get home:

It is probably safe to say that Ammon has a 'Love Love' relationship with camping,

(and by that I mean he wants to go every weekend)

and I realized it's because he misses out on a lot of the before and after prep. Convenient

I'd probably love, love it too if I wasn't still putting camping stuff away 2 weeks later.

 

I do love watching the kids spend 90% of the day rolling in the dirt, and having to use thier little imaginations while outside.  I love, love smores and hotdogs around the campfire.  And this trip, I loved sleeping by Porter, and hearing him talk in his sleep all night long, "Mom!  Airplane. Fly Sky!!!!" Screaming it just like he does all day long.

I am sure we have many many more camping weekends ahead of this this summer,

I just hope our washing machine is up for the task!
