Camping at the Lake

Lucky for us the LaFond camping trip this year was at Hauser Lake which happens to be a convenient 20 minutes from our house.  So last week CK's parents, sisters, Aunt and Uncle and some cousins all camped in their RVs at the lake and CK, Reese, Asher and I headed out a few nights/afternoons.  We came in most nights to let the kids sleep in their own beds (ok, who am I kidding, so we could sleep in our own beds) and it worked out great.  Friday night we braved it and stayed on an air mattress on Craig & Jan's camper floor.  That simply reminded us why we drove home to our beds the others nights :)  2 adults and 2 kids who kick on one air mattress = not much sleep for the bigger people.  The week was great, though, and both Reese and Asher had a wonderful time playing with their cousins, second cousins and keeping Mom and Dad on their toes chasing them around the campground.    I even managed to get on a jetski for the first time in 4 years.  The ride didn't last too long but that's another story.  Here are some cute videos from the last few days.
This is Asher with his 2nd cousin Owen whose family just moved to Missoula from California so hopefully we'll get to see them more often now!



This one is Reese playing with her second cousins, Ava and J.J. (brother and sister to Owen).  She LOVED the lake and we had to drag her out each day.



It's been a great 3 weeks at home.  Tomorrow I head out again on the road- this time to Charlottesville, VA, where apparently it's been 107 lately.  I managed to work 40 hour weeks and cook dinner just about every night.  Neither of those have happened in years.  It was a great break but I'm looking forward to a new project and seeing what Virginia has in store.

In other (very exciting) news, Reese is doing great with her potty training.  She's about 90% trained so all the hard work is paying off.  Guess I'll have to find another reason to clean my house now ;)
