Of course we forgot our camera, but we had the funnest weekend camping in Kalispell. I didn't look for a campground until the morning we left...so the one that I found that had vacancy had us worried! Who cares...a place to pitch the tent! But, we were psyched when we drove into the campground...you crossed the bridge and off to the left the creek was dug out wide for a swimming hole with 2 floating docks. To the right it narrowed into a fast creek that was perfect for catching crawdads....There was a huge playground with several play buildings like a bank, saloon, hardware store...there were tunnels connecting the buildings around the bank to it...like, for robbery! So fun...of course Eli peed in one of them...whatever! He is determined to leave his mark wherever we go...which we learned, gets WAY worse than peeing! Anyways...the campground was awesome...bathrooms and showers...electricity and water to every campsite...and CHEAP! I can hardly wait to go back! There was a beaver that was working on a little damn just across the creek from us.
So, this is how our trip started: Eli pooped his pants at McDonalds the night before we left. When we got to the campground...there was a creek literally 5 feet from where we parked the van. So, Nate and I are trying to set up the tent and Kenna asked, 'what's floating down the creek?' That would be Nate's sleeping bag...so I barreled in to the creek fully dressed and it looked shallow...proved otherwise! Oh well...the men went golfing and we headed to Shopko with Marissa and mom to find flip flops for the creek. Yeah...again...when he pooped his pants there. So I cleaned him and then stuck him in the sink to scrub him down...and of course a Shopko employee walked in. Nice...she wasn't impressed. I don't blame her! I washed it out...with soap... but she was thoroughly scrubbing it 10 minutes later when my mom walked in. The next day we had a repeat at the pool at mom's hotel. Don't have a clue what to do with him...anyways... the rest was totally fun. We told scary stories in the tent, which were hilarious...Eli wanted in on the fun and said, "once...upon a time....there was a y-ion(lion)...in our sTuPID tent....the end!" Avery is the only one who wouldn't tell a story...she was scared, even though Kenna was in tears laughing from her own stupid story! Anyways, what a perfect weekend...except for the fact that I ate myself sick at every single place! I love my sweet family...

Sounds so fun!!! What's the name of the camp ground?
How fun!! We love camping and there is no better place to go camping than up near Kallispell and Glacier!!
You are not alone in the little boy pooping dept. We went to Fairfield for the 4th and Carter pooped his pants everyday we were there. The first 2 times were on Janis's carpet and the last one was in Nuggent's sand box. Yes, I am sooo proud. I told Janis she could kick us out at anytime. Let me know what works with you, we have yet to get him to poop on the toilet.
Where exactly was this perfect campsite?
