Campin' with the Fam

What do you get when you combine The Marshall 5, the Rasmussen 3, and The McGee 2? The First annual McGee family camping trip! (We missed you McGee 5 and Kevin).

We loaded up the condo on wheels (as it so lovingly called) and headed up to Soapstone in hopes of cooler weather and some good riding trails. We had a blast riding the four-wheelers, playing ladder ball, sitting around the campfire, eating yummy dinners and desserts (doesn't everything taste better when it is made outdoors? Yummy!), building forts with lots of (d)sticks, fishing, playing card games in the tent, and enjoying each others' company.

Can't wait to do it again next year!


Our Warriors
Ali and Ben layered on Nixon's clothes during the night. Nixon was so bundled he could hardly move. Needless to say, none of them slept very well that night. "I can't put my arms down."

Mmmm, Bacon!


Ali, we totally had Dad and Ben.... up until they made a comeback and won.



Me, Abbi, and Ali heading out on the trails.

And what camping trip would be complete without making beaded watchbands with Grandma and Abbi.

That was such a fun weekend and we need to do it again! Yea, I feel like such a bad mom for bundling up Nixon so much, but oh well, live and learn! I am totally still bummed out ladderball, we dominated everybody, but our overconfidence got us in trouble.....next time, they are ours!

This was such a great, relaxing weekend. It just feels so good to get away and the mountains just make it so much better! Can't wait to do it again! Love your condo on wheels, now that's camping in style! Thanks for letting us tag along!
(BTW, the dutch oven desserts were heavenly!)
