Camping!

Over the July 4th weekend we went camping! It was the first camping trip of the summer. We went with our friends Amber and Jared with their two dogs Winchester and Penny. The trip was a bit last minute so the boys decided to go out earlier on Friday hoping to find a spot since all reserved campgrounds were booked by the time we decided to go camping. Luke and Jared were driving about 5 hours....with 3 dogs!! Poor guys! That is basically torture.

They landed a spot around 7:30pm on Friday night with Amber and I already on our way praying they would find something before we got there!

Our campground wasn't anything special but it served its' purpose. Our spot was huge so the dogs were able to run, play and sniff around as they pleased without annoying other campers.

Winchester Sperry, very patient dog.

Most of the weekend we actually spent at Suttle Lake. The dogs are HUGE water lovers so I believe they had the best weekend of their lives! A lot of barking, splashing, stick getting and Winchester has the skills to hunt for large rocks. It is quite hilarious. You toss a large rock into the shallow water and he will paw around, feel it, poke his whole head into the water and come up with the rock in his mouth. He is a unique one.

Penny hopping like a bunny in the water.

Us humans, we laid out, tanned, drank some cold beers and swam. It was super nice to have warm weather. I think I almost forgot what it felt like....especially since I burned.

Great idea by Luke Buchanan.

Amber and Jared being cute with their dogs.

By the end when we were ready to head out on Monday, I think I had over 20 mosquito bites. I attract bugs like crazy!! I was just itching to get a nice long shower (pun intended)! Overall the weekend was super fun and relaxing. I definitely feel like summer has begun.
