There's not much that affects me quite as much as nature. I breathe easier, smile more, gratitude radiates throughout me when I'm surrounded by God's beautiful creations. My husband is the same. We would love to camp every weekend if we could... oh and the kids would LOVE that....but we can't. With Bryan's schedule we're lucky to get one good camping trip in a year. Last weekend was it! And it was wonderful! Bliss!!

Bryan got to fish with the boys for the first time... but the fish didn't cooperate.

Nature, water, cool breeze and big cheeks to suck on... can't get any better!
We went with our dear friends the Smiths. Sorry we ruined your streak Jared :)
Is she not the cutest little girl ever!
While Bryan and Ty were out walking they found a huge turtle in the middle of the road. We enjoyed his company for a while and then let him RUN back to the water...fastest turtle I have ever seen. Maybe it was the threat of 5 kids playing with him.
Found a place where we could rent paddle boats. Brans wasn't too fond of the life jackets.
Did some hiking. We got to experience the wrath of Hurricane Ike while on one of our hikes...poured and poured... still fun!
Okay, so we weren't totally roughing it in tents. The rain would've made that miserable. So we found this great little cabin. The fire pit was soaked, so we roasted hot dogs and marshmallows in the BBQ.
Brans and Ty's first slumber party... saying they were excited is a huge understatement. After a few hours of trying to calm them down, I moved them, Brans fell asleep in the bathroom and Ty in a closet. I moved them back to the room with their friends while they were sleeping.
Bry had to miss his BYU game (don't worry it was being tivo-ed at home) but he had to discuss game strategies with my Dad pre-game)
One FUN weekend trip!!

That looked like a BLAST!! Where did you guys go, it was gorgeous! Love the cabin too, was it reasonable to rent it?! So cool! Never a dull moment with the Christensens! :-)
How FUN!!! You made me want to go camp.. in a cabin of course! That is MY kind of camping with small children.
What's with all the BYU shirts, though? hehe
Looks like fun - did you guys get any sleep?!

Sounds like so much fun! Glad you got your trip in. :) The boys look so happy!
