This weekend we went camping for the last time this season. We went to Meadow Lake, it was beautiful. We went with Lori and Aaron and we really had a great time. Friday night we made a dutch oven dinner and just sat around the fire, did a little fishing and enjoyed watching the kids play together. We had fun talking to Lori and Aaron about old times, when we all first started dating. Reid and I set Lori up with Aaron, and Aaron and I were good friends before Reid and I started dating, so we all have a lot of history together. And it was fun to remember those old times.

Treyton was a huge disaster, he kept falling down and so he was covered from head to toe in dirt. But he was having a blast. We slept in a tent, at first the kids couldn't understand why we weren't taking our camper, but they ended up loving the tent.

When we woke up Saturday morning it was raining and cold. We just staying in our tent for a long time, which was kind of cool. We were all happy and enjoying each others company. We ate breakfast in the tent and just hung out. When it finally stopped raining we made a fire and roasted some marshmellows and cinnamon rolls and started cleaning up camp. It was just too cold to stick around for very long. We drove down to Gillmore (an old Ghost town) and went on a 4-wheeler ride, but that didn't last long because it started to rain and thunder and lightening. So we headed back to the trucks. Reid was pretty disappointed because he has been working his butt of the last month so he could have money to buy a 4-wheeler, and when he went to load it on the trailer to go on this trip it wouldn't start. So we couldn't take it, instead we took his parents 4-wheeler and his motorcycle, and it ended up being fine. It just seems to be his luck that things like that happen, oh well.

It looks like a lot of fun, and a lot of cold! I haven't gone camping in forever, but I bet my boys would love the dirt and the sleeping bags!

sorry about your 4 wheeler Reid. But that kind of luck is just part of having the last name of Fuhriman. Just ask your brother Ben. it is so neat to see the cousins together. and what a beautiful lake. I am glad you all had fun.
