Camping

I thought I had already posted this, but then found it in the drafts folder. :P Better late than never, right?

We went on a two-night camping trip in the Beartooth Mountains this week! It was amazing... except for a few parts. ;)

Because of a fire ban, we were unable to light a campfire... that, combined with below-freezing temperatures and lots of rain, made for one coolllld morning! It was made worse by the fact that the large tent leaked and the small tent collapsed in the rain. 

It was an adventure! 

As always, we went geocaching... 

Isn't he so cute?? :D

Another geocache 

Papa by yet another geocache...

Snow in July!

 

Chipmunk tame enough to eat out of Bjorn's hand!

More snow...

I got Papa quite nicely with this one. ^_^

Later that day, we hiked up to a most beautiful waterfall! Since we forgot to bring a baby backpack, I tied Rosemary to my back with a couple extra sweatshirts. It worked quite well! :)

The same waterfall, as seen from the road. 

Back in the tent that evening, as the rain poured down...

The next morning, making a vain attempt at staying warm...

Don't ask me what this car was doing 'way out in the woods, nor why everyone wanted a picture in it, but there you go!
