Happy New Year!

The days are starting to get longer, and we are already talking about camping and exploring the outdoors. In fact, we have already made reservations at Forest Service campgrounds for Memorial Day at Bonneville in the Lowman Idaho area, and Stanley Lake in the Stanley Idaho area. Stanley is already sold out for that time frame, but Bonneville still had sites left last time I checked reserveamerica.com, but you'll want to hurry if you want to go!

We are looking forward to using the hotsprings at Bonneville, hiking, trail riding, and shooting some great pictures of the area - weather permitting of course.

There are some campgrounds close to Stanley Lake that sill have some spots left, so try those out if you are interested. We are looking forward to being by the lake where we can canoe and fish for 5 days!

Everything else is going great right now. Watch out for DJ in the red 4runner - he is driving so get out of the way!

Love - The Alberts

Holy Cow! It's already November, and we have never updated our blog!

It was a busy Spring, Summer, and Fall, if you haven't figured that out yet. We did a fair amount of camping - Idaho City, Alturas Lake, Baumgartner/Kelly Creek Flats. Not as much as we would like, but we took quality over qauntity.

DJ had a great football season, and Orion is getting BIG! Angi and Dave are still hanging in there with heir jobs, so all is OK.

Check out the updated photo's!

Looks like Hemingway Butte near Murphy for a campout on Spring Break. We can hit Givens Hot Springs one night, at least, after riding...

Let me know who is in...ONLY ABOUT A MONTH TO GO TO CAMPING SEASON!

New "Orion Noises" link - how to listen.

Hi!
Check out the new link to some cute Orion noises. It's an MP3 download, about 784Kb, so consider that your bandwidth warning...
Once it downloads, your media player (Windows Media Player, Real Player, iTunes, etc.) will kick off.
Once you here Orion, set the MP3 playback in your media player to "loop" or "repeat". This way you can listen to the little guy while you check out our blog!

Where to camp Spring Break 2008?

Ok - we have cabin fever and are chomping at the bit to go camping and riding!
Where is there to go during spring break? We are thinking Hemingway Butte down by Murphy for a few days - anyone else have any ideas? Let us know!

Welcome!

Here is the Albert family blog where we will share our families adventures and happenings!
We are an active family of four - Dave, Angi, DJ (14) and Orion (2).
Our favorite activities include camping, motorcycling (trail riding), skiiing, snowboarding, and boating. All of the activites are an integral part of the fun, family friendly lifestyle we enjoy while living in the beautiful state of Idaho!
During the summer we spend a lot of time camping/riding with like minded friends. We intend on sharing many pictures of these trips here, as well as "ride reports" of our favorite trail rides from the summer.
Thanks for stopping in and keep checking in for updates!
