Smith Family Camping Trip

I finally have enough pictures of the Smith family annual camping trip to create a post! The camping trip is one of our most favorites trips of the year. We camp somewhere in the Beaver mountains, eat, play games, eat more and sing by the fire. Every year is a little different but you can always count on EXCELLENT food prepared by Jacki and you can always count on thousands of card games!

My first year camping with the Smith family (Aug 2007) we hiked Mt. Delano. It was so steep. We saw mountain goats for goodness sake! The nights were so cold that I talked Brian into letting their dogs, Daisy and Dexter, come sleep with us in the tent- they were my personal heaters!







The second year (Aug 2008) I unfortunately forgot my camera. It was an unusual year because on the way there, Jacki and Brenna rolled the beast- the Expedition. Luckily they had minor injuries but things were very lax that year. No hiking trip but a lot of great food and games!!!

The third year (Aug 2009), which was just recently, was maybe my favorite of the three years. Pam and Keenan came with their little family and Brian and I fell in love with Deizel. He is the cutest little boy I've ever seen!! We went on a great hike to the rock taverns which were absolutely fantastic and we played a huge softball tournament amongst the families. Things got a little heated, but what do you expect from competitive sports crazed families?! It was sad to see the fun end and we can't wait until next year with our little six month old baby BOY!
