June-Dubois Camping Trip

We were all so excited to go on our first camping trip this summer! We went up to Dubois where we have some friends that live literally out in the middle of nowhere!!! For those of you who have been to our house, you  might say that we live out in the middle of nowhere, but these friends truly do! There is no service out there just fresh mountain air and sunshine. It was too beautiful to describe! They live in an old farm house that was just recently remodeled for them so that they can live out there full time. The husband is a friend from Tyrel's mission that we have always kept in contact with and have been there for each other for the important events. Funny side story, I was actually with them on their first date, but my date was her brother. This was before Tyrel and I dated. They got married a couple months after us and have a girl the same age as Tytyn and a boy the same age as Halter. He is a full time ranch hand and spends his days taking care of several huge herds of cows. So we went up for a weekend to help them out and take in the scenery and it did not disappoint! I was ready to drop everything and move up there!

Tyrel and Zack are on the horses and the boys and I followed behind on a 4-wheeler to pick up any strays and take pics!

The pictures just don't do it justice!

Little buddy got tuckered out and fell asleep.

They have a stream that runs through their backyard so Tytyn had a blast seeing if he could catch anything with a net.

This is their backyard! So gorgeous!!!

It was a pretty hot day so the kids took matters into their own hands and dumped water all over themselves over and over again with a water bottle since there were no sprinklers.

These 2 played together really well. Some of the girls from his class at school made me dread the day that he would start liking girls and wanting to bring them around, but when he played with Oaklee and I was able to see what a sweet and good girl she is and how well they got along it reassured me that there are good girls out there and he will find one! I know probably a crazy thought considering he's only 6, but I'm your typical worry wart of a Mom!

We were able to take the 4-wheelers to explore and had a fun afternoon ride.

This was an old abandoned homestead even more out in the middle of nowhere! Old abandoned homesteads and building fascinate me!!! In another life if I could travel the world and photograph those I would. I wish there was a storybook to go along with all of these old building; so much history!

An old abandoned school house which we went inside and explored.
