Life is so difficult when you are camping

We made it there and back in one piece. We drove through the night both ways. Its just easier with Henry because he is used to sleeping at night and then his routine isn't thrown all the way off. We had a good trip. We went camping at Alturas Lake. Amanda came to meet us and spend one night with us. Amanda and I got in the canoe and it took til the end to figure out how to work it :) We didn't dump it, which everyone thought we would! Karen, Aunti I, Henry and I all went down the river in the canoe but we ended up lifting the canoe over fallen trees more than we were in it and we also dumped it and all went in; Henry to his neck. Brad and I (along with other family members) fished in the lake and at 4th of July Creek. We caught a few fish but they were too small to keep so we just threw them back. We stopped at Easley Hot springs to shower and swim. We got the kids in the water too! It was fun watching them play. Delilah was about to fall asleep in her little floaty. Both kids kicked in the water.

Then we headed back to Twin Falls, stopped in Shoshone for some ice cream cones and then took a day to relax; and unpack everything. Brad, Les and Josh went shooting Thursday evening. Stefanie and I went to a movie, Killers, while Grandma Poe watched the grandkids. She had to change 4 poopy diapers in less than 2 hours. We had some drama but everything turned out ok. Brad and Les played golf in the Vandal Pigout, they didn't win. Karen and I brought the kids down but we didnt' get there in time for dinner.

Delilah and Henry had a great time together! They played together all the time. They ate watermellon and cantaloupe, dough gobbies and pancakes all in the mountains. It was fun watching them play together. Delilah turns 1 in a few weeks!!! Its crazy how fast the year has gone.

We got back home about 2:30am. Wow does it cut off time when there is no traffic in Sacramento and going over Donner pass. Brad got some stress relief before going back to work to hit it hard for selling and getting things ready for the football season. Its just around the corner. Damn! College football starts again! Oh the nights without football :) Brad and Henry will watch football together. I will watch it too but not to the extent Brad does.
