Lake McMurtry

If you know our family very well, then you know we are very outdoorsy folks! We love to play outside, eat outside and take adventures outside. We have had several "camping" trips to our backyard, where we pitch the tent and sleep overnight, but we've been near modern conveniences. In the spring, with friends, we overnighted on their land but we've never been to an actual campsite until a few weeks ago.

We loaded up and headed to McMurtry (just so happens to be where we got engaged!). Our campsite (there were only three camping sites being used this weekend, which we found ridiculous b/c the weather couldn't have been more perfect) ended up being right around the corner from our good friends, the Ramseys. We had smores together!

A few pics: Grant off exploring on the rocky wall at our site (it was a HUGE site, too, with a great area for fishing).
The boys preparing our campfire to roast our hot dogs and chili on! (disregard the blue lighter at his feet - I am just SURE that Jason got it all ready by rubbing two sticks together with his bare hands. wink wink).

Kyle was really into fishing at this spot. Grant could have cared less. I caught one and I think Kyle caught three. Jason was just busy putting worms on the lines, fixing broken lines, and putting the fish back in the water to fish much!

This shot was priceless. We had just finished unloading the car and getting settled. I look over and the boys had put their chairs next to each other and were just staring at the lake. Pretty much says it all to me! I LOVE that they LOVE each other, too!
