We went to Redlodge to camp with the Rudolphs and Samuelsons. We ended up with quite a party. Nathan's parents, Simon, Shena and Cohen, Jane also camped further down the road. Justen's parents came up on Saturday for the day. It was rather cold and rained off and on Sat. It was fun but I think Sunday morning I hit my limit with cold and smoke. I finally (3 days later) still smell smoke. I am so glad I live the 21st century. I told Nathan I would probably never have survived as a pioneer woman.
Marshmellows!
They actually worked and tasted just like the real thing! They even toasted beautifully! I will make them for every camping trip, however they are time consuming.
water and honey boil until 250 degrees
gelatin and water
whip it all together along with salt and vanilla
it takes about 12 minutes
still going.....
this picture is sideways, but they are in a dish drying. They aren't even as sticky as I thought. The next day Cozi cut them into squares.

Watching Mr. Justen catch a fish in the river
It was so cool, he caught one right away. I was so excited for the kids to eat fresh fish. They love it so.
rainbow trout
Analise was enamored with it, she called it Rosie
Justen cleans the fish and even lets Hannelora do a little bit. He showed them the anatomy of a fish. They loved every moment of it!
Grunt...... I am man over fire..... I cook lots of steak....
He was so happy with himself! He loved every moment. Maybe I should get a huge fire pit/stove and I won't have to cook anymore!
