Happy Campers


Justin and I got a bunch of camping stuff for our wedding!  We were super stoked.  So we took a weekend and went camping.  Just the two of us.  Mostly because we currently have no friends around here to go camping with.  But none the less, it was still a blast.  I forgot to take pictures the night we got there so these are all from the next morning.  We made hobo dinners and peach cobbler in our new dutch oven!  It was divine! :)  We had to hike up the hill a little ways to find some wood for our fire.  Justin was very excited to use his new hatchet to chop wood.  He felt like a MAN! Haha.  



This is our lovely little campsite.  With no table might I add!  They were free little campsites and all the good ones with tables were already taken by the time we got up the mountains.  It was alright though.  We survived. 





We were so full the night before from our dinners and peach cobbler that we didn't roast marshmallows and make s'mores.  You can't go camping without making s'mores.  So... naturally, we had them after breakfast!  Justin's had strawberry marshmallows and mine was made with a Reese's instead of just a Hersey's.  Tasty tasty!

Rubber Ducky... You're the one!!!

So Justin and I went down to the green belt one Saturday to take a walk and see what was happening.  They were having some Idaho Youth Jam thing along the river.  Every year they do this and there are all kinds of booths set up along the green belt with food and activities for kids and lots of random things to buy.  People "adopt" a rubber duck and in the afternoon they take all these rubber ducks in a huge crate and they dump them into the river near the falls.  It's a duck race.  So the owner of the first rubber duck over the falls wins a car or something!  It's so crazy!
If you look past the real ducks in the river, all the yellow things are the rubber ducks racing to victory!

Justin and I each posed with the giant rubber ducky!

First attempt

Ok, so here goes my first attempt at blogging!  I'm excited about this!  I'm not really sure who's going to read any of this but it's still fun to share what's going on with us way up here in Idaho!  I hope you all enjoy!
