Each year Lamar plans a camping/fishing trip to Big Lake for some one-on-one with the kids. He started taking Bryson when he was 2 1/2. This was their 4th year. Initially, we envisioned this becoming an awesome father/son experience as the years unfolded; a unique opportunity for them to be away alone together. Then we had two girls. Now what? Well.... why not? I guess they need time to bond with Daddy too! We had always thought I would have girl time with the girls and he would have boy time with the boys on this weekend each year...we'll see what the future holds. For now, Elizabeth was ecstatic to be included in the group for the first time! (Must be potty trained to go, and she missed it by a month last year!)
Horse shoes is a family fav. not just camping, but at occasional family gatherings, and trips to the mountains.
Their CRAZY pic~ Lamar always has to have one!

As soon as the fish comes out of the water Elizabeth darts!

Yeah! I'm so glad you have a blog. It is so fun to keep up with everyone from high school. I love it. Your family is as cute as ever and it is fun to see your new addition since the school reunion. The kids camping trip looked like a blast. I loved checking out your blog and seeing what your family as been up too.
Lamar is totally my hero! Taking kids camping WOW! It looks like they had a good time, you have cute cute kids!
Hi Danae, I am so glad you found me and I am definetly adding you to my friend list. Your family looks great and you look like being a mom of three is an easy job. I am still adjusting. And I can't believe your little brother is so big now. I know we grow up, but I sometimes forget that our siblings do too. Glad to see you guys doing so well. LOTs of love, Amy
Man those kids fish better than I do. But I think I've been like 4 times ever. I think that trip is such a good idea and Lamar we should go fishing up there too. Maybe you could teach me to fish as well as your kids do...how many did you catch? HaHa

Hey I found you on Amber's blog! How are you? You kids are so big now. And they look like the echol side! I keep waiting to look at Parker and be freaked out that he looks just like one of us!
Love the fishing video so cute! We may have to adopt that famous quote at our house. LOVE IT!!
I can't believe how big your kids have gotten! They are all so cute. I am glad to have found your blog too, so we can keep in touch with each other more.
Don't worry if your not a female, The Rocky Mountain Chocolate is for everyone! you have to go and try it, you'll be hooked.
The video is hilarious. I love the part where lizzy is asking if she can keep it over and over and over again. Of course Bryson saying "Echols aren't quitters" is classic as well. Looked like fun. Talk to ya later.
Thank you so much Lamar it worked!!! It was slightly annoying copying and pasting everyone's addresses again, but worth it! THANK YOU!!!
very cute kids you have! I found your blog off of Mary's. I need your e-mail and I'll invite you to mine. You guys look great. Looks like you've added another little girl since I last saw you.
After Cody's comments and my successful fishing trip this summer, we need to plan a family trip next summer.
I love camping! I haven't been forever, but looking at these pictures makes me want to go again. Your family is so cute, we need to get together soon.
Tell the fam I said hi and thanks for the birthday wish.
Danae-
Hey...it was fun to see you the other night. I sure miss everyone over there!! Our blog is heatherandtylerhorne.blogspot.com
What a fun family tradition. I bet the kids love that time with their dad. How lucky are you!! I don't think that a weekend alone while the kids are camping with dad would be so bad!! Now you gotta just get April potty trained for next year:)
Hey Danae - love all the pics! I think it's time to update though! Come on girlfriend - look alive, look alive!
