Camping on the St. Joe River

Jeremy recently became associated with the Clearwater FlyCasters, and every year they have a camp out on the St. Joe River for all the families. We decided to go and test out some of our Extreme Parenting Skills.

Riker was in heaven, this Dude loves to be outside, and camping was probably the most fun he's ever had. Luckily, pretty much the entire campground was with our group, and they were very aware of our 3 little people (most of the FlyCasters are retired-aged) so everyone was safe, and helped keep an eye on them.

Tucker loved being able to be dirty the whole time! And he seems to be a fan of dutch oven dessert!

Maeli was all about starting the fire. She gathered a lot of fire wood, and continued to gather for days after we got home.

The family across the way from us kind of took us under their wing. The Dad, Steve, took Jeremy out a few times, but the fishing wasn't great--the water was running high and fast) so they decided to just do some rafting in their pontoon boats.



Maeli adopted Tasha, and together, they adopted a hammock from some people that weren't with our group and spent a lot of their time on the water.


The only downside--lots of mosquitos!

This might be my most favorite picture ever!

See? I went camping too!

Maeli loved having so many adults around who all thought she was adorable. She had this guy wrapped around her finger...I'm not sure exactly what they were playing, but it involved a lot of sneaking up on people.

In the end, we all had fun, and we all needed a nap!
