Hot Camping!

If you have never been camping when it's really hot...you probably don't ever want to! We had our yearly camping trip planned with Grandma, Poppin, and the Grantlands way before we knew it was going to be a scorcher. Every year we go down to Tree of Heaven along the Klamath River. It is a nice place to camp because it is right by the river. We relax, swim, and do some rafting. It's a great time with great people! (Jim Grantland loves to make wonderful meals for everyone, so we all reap the benefits of his early morning breakfast spreads. It is seriously one of the best things about this camping tradition!)
This year though...it was HOT! It was the weekend when every day was over 100 degrees. We might have had a little bit of an easier time if we didn't have an infant with us. It was just too hot for her to take naps...and when babies don't take naps...bad things! She did however love laying down in the little kiddie pool we brought along. It was a last minute grab as we left home, and it saved us! The kids (and adults) were able to stay cool while we were at the campsite.
Grant got to go rafting again. He was a little more into it than last year. He really liked looking for turtles along the way.
We had a great time, but really hope it's not as hot next year!

This is how we survived!

The only time is was cooler was in the morning.

Blake and Hailey came too!

I finally resorted to nursing like this...
