Thousand Trails Camping

Last Thursday, Friday and Saturday we went camping at Thousand Trails, Lake of the Springs. I have been camping here with my family, and extended family since I was like 3 years old. Most of my memories of summers when I was little, take place at Thousand Trails. My cousins and I would have a blast playing together and spending all day at the beach4, I believe this is why we are all so close to this day. We spent all of our summers together.

I was so excited to take Dave and the kids there and show them "my camping grounds". When we arrived my aunt sue, my cousins Christy and her baby girl Izzy, Brittany and her 3 boys Briaten, Christian and Ashton, Sharsten and her sweet girl Eden, my mom and sisters Whitney, Nicole, Tiffany, and Stacy with Montana Belle where already at the site. We met them at the lake for the day. We spent about 2-3 hours at the beach. Andalyn was in heaven! She loves to swim and play in the sand. To be able to do that for hours on end just made her day!

Once we were done at the beach we headed to the campsite to set up our tent. A big thanks to Whitney and Dave for actually getting the tent up. We hadn't used it in like 4 years and I had every intention of setting it up before we left just to make sure we had all of the pieces, however ran out of time before we had to leave. Well when Dave and Whitney went to go set up the tent they found that most of the poles that hold the tent up where not attached where broken. With a lot of will power and duck tape they got it up. It was a little miss shaped however it served it's purpose.

For the next 2 1/2 days it was lots of sun sand and water.

Here are some pictures of all of the camping fun...
