In July 2005, we took our first camping trip w/ Dillon. We had a Gordon family reunion at Alturas Lake in Idaho (near Redfish lake). I’ve never been much of a camper, and the thought of taking Dillon with us not even being one yet, made it much less desirable, but for the most part it was pretty fun. The Rupps, Walkers and Murrays were all there, but also a lot of Natalie’s cousins and aunts and uncles on the Gordon side that I had not met yet. It was a little akward though, because one of Natalie’s cousins was there , who was gay, with his partner. It was a little weird seeing them put suntan lotion on each other, but oh well. Dillon actually did very well camping and loved eating the dirt! One thing I remember is that Spencer wanted to take care of Dillon for a little bit. I was a little nervous to allow this because of Dillon’s fascination with dirt eating, but we let Spencer have him. Dillon was laying on the picnic table bench (why, I don’t know) and fell off into the dirt. Also, when we were putting up our tent we found a little matchbox car that had been buried in the dirt for who-knows how long. Dillon wanted it so bad that we gave it to him. It is now 2008 and he still plays with that car. Also, Dillon was deathly afraid of the water. We’d hold him above the water, but when ever his feet would touch that water, he would freak out. Although, he did enjoy seeing the little minnows swimming around. Here are some pictures from our camping trip.
