We just got home from our second annual camping trip with the Phillips family. We had so much fun with our dear friends and their children!!! My goodness our kids are growing so quickly.

Tristan and Payton (8 and 6 respectively) had a good time with Tristan's new book of magical creatures and finding brownies, goblins, water nixies, bogarts, and salamanders in the woods. If you have seen the Spiderwick Chronicles or read the book, you will know what they searched for. Tristan was sure to bring salt to line our tents to prevent a goblin attack:)

Shae tried to hang with the big kids but sooned realized just how cool Belly (aka Isabel) really is at 2 years old. Belly is not only the most beautiful little girl but is also a spitfire who is so much fun to spend time with. Those two had some fun with the fire pit, big sticks, and playing in the dirt!

We found a campsite with river access so we had our private beach on the Lochsa. It was really nice! The kids played for hours on the beach, Jeramie and Travis fished, and the mommies relaxed with baby Reid. We had a great time cooking and making smores by the fire each night.

We are looking forward to the third annual trip next summer in our same camping spot!! Thank you Jami and Jeramie for meeting up for our camping trip and making the vacation so much fun. We really do cherish our visits with you!
