We have been couting down the days... now hours... until we leave for Idaho! We are heading straight up to McCall, Idaho once we land for a 5 day day camping trip with the Vander Stelt family!
It will also be Sam's first camping trip so we are curious to see how that goes.... hopefully Sam doesn't wake up the campground in the middle of the night demanding too many bottles. He will love being around all the activity and all his cousins and third cousins!
One thing that will be very special - Sam's Great Grandpa and Grandma Vander Stelt will be coming up to McCall and they are excited. This is the last big trip for them and they will put their motorhome up for sale after this trip. I have so many amazing memories of camping with my Grandpa and Grandma Vander Stelt - camping trips always included the motorhome, being spoiled by Grandma with real hot cocoa and cookies, fishing in the mornings, waterskiing and swimming in the afternoon, and campfires at night. I have great memories of salmon fishing trips in Canada, family camping trips at Owhyee Lake, and smaller trips to Brownlee lake. My grandparents would also take turns bringing several grandchildren with them on trips without our parents - very brave but very fun!! I have so many great memories with my grandparents and all the fun camping and fishing trips and I hope Sam and all my kids get to experience the same things I did with their grandparents!
Can't wait to hear how it went!
