Summer 1: Camping

A lot has happened...

I mean, seriously. A lot. 

We've had an incredible summer break. Because I will get overwhelmed and just not post anything if I try to do it all at once, we're going to have a bit of a summer series here. Don't worry, I'll do it chronologically at least. :)

We headed out to Coeur d'Alene and after a little bit of hangin' we decided to embark on the mother of all campouts. We took all 22 members of the family in one RV and two Minivans from North Idaho to Yosemite and Sequoia Nationals Parks in Southern California.

We went on tons of hikes and had tons of fun! All the kids were great campers and most of the adults were too! ;) We had a 22 matching Crandall Family Reunion shirts, 9 kids under the age of 8, 8 nights of camping, 3 porta cribs, 2 tents, 1 all too curious bear, and 0 flat tires! It was an amazing trip.

Tyce is way too cute!

That bear was about half the size of the one that walked through our camp
