"Camping"

Two weekends ago, we went "camping". I say this with quotes, because we actually stayed in a house, but for some reason, we all called it this. After Christie arrived here from Idaho, Eric, Christie, her friend Tyler, and I all headed down to Meadow. Brian was already there. We stayed in his uncle's summer house.

We left on Friday night, and the next day was Christie's birthday. I wanted to make it really special (because I LOVE birthdays) and so we did lots of goofy things to make it fun!

Here is Christie with her bday tiara. :)

After eating, we went and played on the ATVs. I got up to 45 miles per hour - first time since my crash last year, and was so excited! (This weekend proved to scare me from them again... but more on that later.)

After playing around, we took the ATVs up to the lava tubes.

This is Brian playing 127 hours.

We found this baby rattle snake. Ah, so cute. :) Then Brian killed it. Not so cute. (

In one of the lava tube cave things, it was pitch black. My little iphone flash helped out immensely. :)

After all the ATVing fun, we headed out to the hot springs. I've never been in one - they are so cool!

We ended Christie's bday with a pinata. :)

The next day we drove out to go shooting.

And then we all got in the jeep and truck and left. The pups were pretty pooped I must say.

Such a good weekend!

Happy Birthday Christie!
