With the poor weather over Memorial Day weekend, we decided to head out camping the following weekend. We didn't have much time, so we headed to Scout Mountain up Mink Creek.
There are lots of hiking trails. We all enjoyed this view of Pocatello.
First thing in camp, Hudson decides to try out my new hatchet. I found him whacking away at this quaking aspen. We tried to teach him that you try to take care of your campsite and you can't cut just any tree down. But boys will be boys.
Little did we realize that we had three stow-away birds in the camper until they started chirping for a snack. I was content to let them go the way of the earth, but Brent decided it would be fun to catch worms and feed them.
Hudson took this responsibility very seriously. Straight out of bed and he was headed to get the birds breakfast.
Dalanie on the other hand didn't share the same enthusiasm for the slimy worms.
By time Hudson finished his worm harvesting, it looked like an infestation of moles because of all the overturned soil from his shovel. I'm pretty sure it was another campsite rule violation.
With the protection of a cup, Dalanie became much more involved.
I impressed the kids by turning over a log. They couldn't believe all the worms.
The kids especially loved riding their bikes. There weren't many flat spots so Dalanie had to learn to use her brakes. It was a little scary learning curve, but she improved in leaps and bounds.
Ruby could have played on the hammock and washed her hands the entire time and been content. She is quite a clown and kept us all laughing.
On a hike, the kids found all of their ages.
