Payson Lake

We went camping at Payson Lake this weekend.

It was so much fun!

And Little Man did FANTASTIC!!

We have this awesome tent that goes in the back of a truck.

and it has an air matress that it made for a truck so it goes around the wheels.

I mostly love it because it is off the ground and I don't have to worry about bugs getting into our tent.

there's a less chance anyways...

We got up around 9:30 on Friday and talked for a little bit with the fam and then went to bed.

Lyle slept in between us and then when he woke up to eat I switched him places.

It was mostly because I was being lazy and didn't want to sit up to feed him.

It was nice :)

I made sure he was warm and I loved snuggling him.

We were the first ones up on Saturday.

We were probably up around 6:30 is my guess.

We laying in the tent and played with Little Man for awhile before we got out and stood around looking at each other like we were statues. ;)

I really, really, REALLY wanted to go around camp singing and waking everyone up!

it was so tempting because it was soo quiet!

But I held back and waiting until people woke up on there own.

We tried sweet potatoes for this first time on Saturday and he LOVED them!

of course he loved them!

He loves anything he can put into his mouth! ;)

He is now eating something "solid" with breakfast, lunch and dinner.

The only time I don't feed him any extra is his last feeding before I put him to bed.

Anyways...We went to the lake and watched the boys fish.

And then I took Little Man on the paddle boat.

It was so much fun and he fell asleep.

When we got back to shore Dee took Little Mane and let him sleep on his lap.

He was still in his life jacket and looked so cute/funny the way he was sleeping.

Mandee and Ginger went and jumped in the middle of the lake and was swimming with the kids.

The next thing I hear is "Come on Bobby! Come swim with us!"

Of course when my nieces and nephews are calling me to do something, it is really hard to say no....

I got my life jacket on...and slowly walked to my Dad in the row boat.

Let me tell you a little bit about me...

I have a fear of water and the unknown....

seriously...

something is going to come up from the botton and grab my legs and drag me under to my death...

or something will bite my feet off....

or there is something under the water swimming around staring at me waiting until the perfect time to plan it's attack.

I seriously am affraid of water.

I've been snorkling twice and have a love/hate relationship for it.

Anyways...

my Dad rowed me out to the middle where they were swimming.

I slowly made my way to sit on the back of the boat.

And then I just sat there....

I seriously was so scared.

But I couldn't let my niece see because then she would freak out too even though she was already in the water.

Well...after a little bit I lost my balace and fell in.

I had to keep talking to Mandee about other things to keep my mind pre-occupied.

While we were swimming, Little Man woke up and decided he wanted to give Daddy a present..hehehehe(evil laugh)

I hear my name coming from shore.

Ginger was yelling "He pooped all over Devin!"

What was I suppose to do??

I'm in the middle of the lake!

So I yelled back, "His Dad can take care of him!"

It was so funny!

I could tell that Dee was upset that I didn't swim into shore by the way he was walking back to camp.

oh well :)

We swam around for a little longer until the wind picked up...

It got a little cold.

We all swam back in then headed back to the campsite to warm up.

Of course, once we got warmed up, it got HOT!

We wanted to jump back in the lake it was so hot!

 

When the boys got back from fishing, we made dinner.

We were in charge of our own dinners Saturday night because not everyone was going to be there.

We made yummy chicken hobo dinners.

They were better than what everyone else had for dinner!

(I can't remember what they had because I was still cutting mine up while they were eating. I think they heated leftovers up)

Matt did make cherry chocolate cobler though!

oh man!!

Can Matt dutch oven!!!

He always make delicious dutch oven cobler!

 

Lyle slept great that night!

He woke up twice for a few minutes to eat and then went back to bed.

I think he slept in until 7:30ish because I felt like I got a ton of sleep.

We made breakfast, packed up, and left.

It was so much fun to spend the weekend not caring about anything at home.

I needed the break from the crazyness. :)

 

Happy Hump Day!

(since we get Thursday off)
