Pages 341 - 358 Big Bear camping 2006

I started scrapping this trip while at ckc - and then in the hotel the night after we saw the Grand Canyon. This trip was for Derrick and Cody, the deal was that Tim and I would take them camping but they had to do ALL the work. And truthfully besides the driving they really did Page 1 is the boys crammed into the back of my truck!
As there is little leg room in the truck with 2 boys back there and we had to sit and wait for the traffic going up the hill, being nice we stopped to allow them some stretch time! That is where page 2 comes in.Page 3, well you know you go camping pack all the food and the BOYS wanted Burger King for dinner and i obliged! I feared eating their food on night one! LOL ... BTW i bought the really cool book on how to make mosaics while at CKC so i gave it a go on this layout!. Page 4 We are at the campground and the boys must unpack and set up camp! And they do it WITHOUT a complaint! Personally i think it is because they wanted to hurry and make the camp fire!(Page 5)Which as you see they did! I think we should call them sparky instead of derrick and cody!
Pages 6 - 10 are of things happening at the campfire and the boys cooking breakfast with a tad bit of assistance i don't think tim wanted crunchy eggs! LOL Page 11 is our adventure out in letterboxing. We drove all over Big Bear looking for letterboxes, page 11 is our first stop which was a dud! But we met another family doing the same thing so that restored my faith in that there might be a box up there yet! SO page 12 is the first box we found together! Yes the we all did it together! (the boys were getting good at backseat driving!Pages 13 and 14 are at the Discovery Museum, where we had to go and get our day passes to park and our map for a few trails we wanted to hike!

We decided to hike the Woodland Hills trail not only because it was a loop but because it was a self guided trail (great views and great information) and oh yeah there was a letter box on this trail. Well we decided that the boys should learn something while we have them in the great outdoors, so we grabbed our green flyer and stopped at each stop and the boys took turns reading what they were looking at. To be honest i was impressed that they actually seem to care! Cody learned not to eat yellow flowers as you don't eat yellow snow! So the trail map and the first two stops are pages 15 - 17

I must have been in a fishing mood that night, because fishing came the next day but i scrapped this layout of derrick! Page 18!

This makes me 7 pages from my goal of 365 which i should be able to accomplish before 12/31!
