presents and camping

For Taylee's birthday, Grandma and Grandpa Hardie gave her a baby doll (per request from her brother and sister). When the baby came, Taylee did love it, but her sister loved it more!! She was always stealing it from her and then telling me, "Taylee said I could borrow it." Nice try, Brooklyn. I might believe you if Taylee could talk! So I mentioned this to my mom and a week later there was a new package in the mail with a baby for Brooklyn and hot wheels for Trey...aren't Grandparents awesome!?

Last weekend we went camping with my in-laws: Jacob, Lori and their kids Mason and McKayla. We met in between Rexburg and Boise in American Falls. It was our last chance to get a trip in before school starts. We had so much fun! On Friday we went canoeing....well, sort of. the river has a dangerous current, so we had to go through a half hour of training with the park ranger before he let us go out. Then, we basically just gave our kids a little ride and called it good. The next day we visited Register Rock on the Oregon Trail, a rock which several pioneers carved their names into and the dates they were there, it was pretty cool. We spent the rest of the day playing on the jet ski and picnicing. Of course we did the whole campfire thing too. Ah, summer.
