Bailey wanted to get a camping trip in before she got married. It got off to a rough start. We were planning on a little campsite in Pocatello, because Mark and I had a long Saturday run in the Pocatello hills planned for Saturday morning. Mark got off work Thursday, and we headed down there. The campground was closed for renovations, and every other campsite or forrest service road were blocked off or closed for COVID-19 regulations. So stupid! Apparently you run a high risk of getting it when you're isolated in the mountains with your family (insert eye roll here)! We drove over an hour back to Idaho Falls, and decided to try the Heise area along the river. We lucked out and got an awesome spot. We were finally set up by 9:00 that night. We did a hike on Friday, and then just hung around the campsite. We read, laid in the hammocks, played games in the trailer, cooked over the fire, and did all the normal camping things.
On Saturday morning, Mark and I had to get up super early (4:00) to head to Pocatello for our long group run. It ended up being an awesome 24 mile run (the longest we have gone in a while). While we were gone, Mason and Bailey just hung around the campsite in their pjs playing games all day.
Sunday was Mother's Day, so we just got up, had breakfast, took our time packing up, and drove home. Good times!

Our Friday hike:

| There were so many creek crossings. Mason jumped them all, and Bailey was hilarious trying to get through them. |

We are so excited that it's finally camping season! We are also super excited that Mason and Bailey will be living here for the summer so they can come with us. Hopefully we can drag Sawyer out for at least one camping trip this year.
