"Camping" for the Day

One of the great things about living in Idaho now is that we are only half hour from the lake and the mountains. My family really likes camping and we wanted to go, but decided camping over night was going to be too hard on Mason so we decided to just go up to the mountains for the day. We brought the four wheeler and Mason LOVED it! Grandpa took him on a ride and then when grandpa stopped the four wheeler Mason pointed to where you start it and said "eh eh" meaning turn it back on and let's go again. This was repeated about 5 times until Mason had to get off despite his telling Grandpa to turn it back on. We also played in the stream. Grandpa was throwing rocks in and Mason started copying him. Chad went on a bike ride while we played in the stream.  We also built a campfire and had hotdogs and made dutch oven peach cobbler. Yummy! We brought Ginger and Mason loved Ginger too. Mason kept sitting down next to Ginger, wrapping his arm around her, and then laying his head on her back. Then Ginger would move and Mason would fall and laugh. He loved it.  Mason fell asleep on the way back so we stopped at the lake and Chad and my Dad practiced swimming while I rowed in the raft next to them so that boats could see them. My mom stayed at the car with Mason so he could keep sleeping. He was exhausted after our fun day.
