Camping at Martinsdale Reservoir

This weekend the kids and I joined my Mom and Tom to for the first camping trip of the summer, however we forgot to pack the summer. We went out to Martinsdale Reservoir, which is only about two hours away and a nice little place to go. It has been on the cooler side here lately but with the hopes that Montana is a big state, it might be nice there we headed out after work yesterday. Mom and Tom had gone out earlier so the kids and I got there about 5:30 and this is what we saw when we went into the campground. Now starting off with a rainbow has to mean something good right, well it does and it means you will have a weekend to remember. Friday night it was nice, we needed jackets but other then that it wasn't to bad. We got the stuff out to do smores, found the kids head flashlights,
and they even got to do a little fishing. Cody made sure the worm was extra yummy for the fish with some blowup stuff and some worm gravy. Then we got the campfire going and sat around looking at how pretty the area was.


Then we woke up to today and it was much cooler, the kids however could care less. On Friday the mountians not far from where we were got fresh snow, it looked very pretty from where we sat.
They still went for the boat ride, even with the 10 layers of clothes they had on. We played all kinds of games and had fun but in the end I decided it wasn't warm enough to stay one more night so we headed home a day early. It was so much fun to get out camping again and I can't wait to go many more times this summer. Now that I know I can start a fire we might even try it on our own, or drag some poor sucker along with us so he can keep the kids busy while I try to light another fire.
