Rain + Camp = lots of muddy fun


Once again we found ourselves camping this weekend. We were able to go to another favorite fishing spot of my family called Potter's Pond in upper Joe's Valley. This time with my dad and all of his brothers. It was pretty rainy the entire time we were there but the rain parted long enough for us to get in a couple of fishing trips and a few horse rides and our new favorite past time mud slinging in the 4 wheeler. We bought a tent and tried sleeping in that this time around and honestly it wasn't that bad. So who knows maybe we'll get camping a little more now.


This is my uncle Lynn and Lizzie on Lynn's horse. This brought back so many memories of me riding along with my uncle Lynn.

Lynn's daughter Jessica (my cousin) and Abby. As soon as we got to camp all Abby wanted to do is be by the horses. Jessica wasn't quite prepared for the tantrum that came when it was time for Abby to get off. Uncle Lynn came to the rescue and insisted that Abby go for one more ride.

Abby was happy to once again get her way and actually came off the horse a little nicer this time around.

Lizzie made a new friend while we were camping and they found lots of fun ways to get super super dirty. This was a shot of their hands after making Mud balls the size of Apples.


This is the 4 wheeler after a serious mud slinging battle with the Mountain. Everyone got so Muddy while we were up there but i guess that's what you're supposed to do when your camping.


I'm having trouble loading a video of Jeremy on a serious muddy trail from my camera. We have more on our video camera but I need to buy a cable to get that on the computer. There were many many amazing trails up there. On our way back from one such adventure it had started to sprinkle and by the time we got back to camp it was hailing. Jeremy and I were soaked to the bone and had ding marks all over us from the stinging hail. It was such a blast!
