The boys first trip to the mountains for the season!

Now that spring is coming up the kids are dying to go camping.. now if only the weather would cooperate.. Today Ben and Jake took Mitch to the mountains to go to the hot springs. When Ben told him last night all he could talk about was putting Chili in the fire and eating it out of the can, it's what men do he says. So i bundled him up and packed his backpack. when i grabbed some footsie PJ's he looked at me and said "those are baby jammies mom i want big boy jammies" so we hunted down his spider man ones. so we packed his backpack with spiderman jammie, his cars head lanp, spiderman blanket, buzz slippers and his can of chili.. and of course he had to wear his camping vest and spiderman hat.. he is so cute i can't wait to hear all about it when they get home. Of course Ceilee is upset she didn't get to go so Ben promised her that next time she got to go by herself just him and her..                                                  


The boys had a blast up there.. when they got there Jake went out to get some wood and Mitch followed him up the hillside in the snow to help. Jake and Ben decided to get the fire ready to go so after swimming they could just light it and then eat. Mitch didn't understand and he kept trying to get them to go get his chili out of his backpack. So they swam and had a blast. While on their trip they saw a skunk (almost sprayed the car) and a Mountain Lion running up the hill side.. Mitchell is still  talking about it.
