No children eaten by bears. No bears terrorized by children. I only burned half of dinner. I got one leg shaved before the KOA Kampground Kabin ran out of Khot Kwater. (Do you think the Kardashians were inspired by KOA?) All in all I’d call this a camping success! Seriously though – I’m having a blast with my family. Best thing? Tomorrow is my first birthday in 15 years with all my immediate family members. Best 33rd Birthday Present EVER. My sister is throwing me a Great Fitness Experiment Birthday Party! Pics will definitely be coming.

Also? Elk are REALLY REALLY big. Even their poop is huge.
I miss elk! I saw them a lot in Arizona! You look like you are having a great time on vacation.
Okay, and Heidi? WHAT THE HELL?!?!?! Working out 14 hours a day is NOT normal. Nor are G-cup breasts. Nor are shooting pains in breasts (G-cup or otherwise). Nor is losing 27 pounds in 2 months! (Which I was unaware she even had to lose….) I just read an article in Marie Claire about this very topic. It’s scary and after spending four days with my 13 year old niece, I really don’t want to see her go through any of it!
Elk are big indeed. You know what’s bigger? Moose. Those things are ginormous. And scary when driving through the Canadian wilderness. PSA: Do not ever hit a moose with your vehicle. The moose will probably live- the same cannot be said of the people in the car.
I dislike Heidi because she’s one of those people that is famous for being famous. Do something interesting, or mildly impressive, then I’ll care. Being on The Hills is insufficient.
I hope you have a very excellent birthday, that’s full of fun, family and love! And I wish you lots of success and happiness in the coming year!
happy birthday charlotte!! june 28th (today) is my birthday too 🙂
Have a very happy birthday Charlotte!
Hope you’re having a super fun birthday/vacay 🙂 looks like you are! 🙂
As far as Heidi, um….
First of all i seriously doubt she is exercising 14 hours a day, continuously. it’s probably on and off for 14 hours, totaling far less. (not that that makes it ok though!)
Second of all, I did see where she confessed to having gained 30 lbs (saw some pics to prove it, too) over the past several months. so, i guess there was weight to lose, but her methods are horrendously unhealthy.
Third of all, some skanky pool party is a horrible motive to want to lose weight so fast.
Again, happy birthday!!
it’s probably on and off for 14 hours A WEEK.
That, I’d believe. I’m not being very sympathetic, but the girl’s repeatedly lied to get attention. I doubt this is different. If it’s true, it’s sad and unhealthy and all that… I just have trouble believing anything she claims.
Happy Birthday!
I’m glad you’re having fun. I must say Jelly Bean is super cute and you’re even more adorable in jeans than you are in workout pants!
Haha – thank you!!
We are really lucky to have so many beautiful natural places to visit across our country! Glad you are enjoying yourselves!
What a beautiful pic Charlotte & glad you are having fun!
Heidi – I can’t write here what I think of her & that fake husband of hers. To me they are hypocrites with all their religious talk but then they go do the things they do…. just craziness!
That picture is just too idyllic. You make Kamping with Kids look… fun! Glad you’re having a great time.
And is it just me or does the whole KOA Kamping Kabin thing seem a little Kreepy? All those K’s makes me think of the KKK. Well,that and Krispy Kremes. Maybe it’s a Konspiracy to turn us into racist doughnut addicts.
Looks like you guys are having fun! And happy birthday!
It’s so funny: just last night I was randomly thinking about annoying celebrities (after seeing a promo for some silly celeb reality show), and thought “haven’t heard from Speidi in a while.” And voila!
Tonight I’m gonna think about winning the lottery…
Hope you had a wonderful birthday Charlotte. The backdrop of that photo is beautiful!
P.S.Where did Jelly Bean’s light hair come from?
Thank you! We’re not sure exactly how Jelly Bean got her light hair and BLUE eyes when hubby and I have brown/black hair and brown eyes. My FIL has blue eyes (but dark hair). Ah genetics!
Hi and Happy Birthday!
Random question; I love your top where is it from?!
Thanks! I love that top too – yay bright prints! I found it at a thrift store but the tag says Billabong:)
sooo living the vicarious elk fun.
and the montag? she.crazy.
yes I said it 🙂
Totally off topic but I LOVE your top in that picture! Where did you get it (and was it cheap)? Too cute!
Slightly more on topic (eh, only slightly) – I think Heidi Montag has an addiction to being an attention whore and will say and do anything to get attention (like plastic surgery, a reality tv show, pretending to have serious addictions…). So we should all ignore her – really, it’s in her best interests…
True and now I’m feeding her sickness….argh.
That pic is absolutely gorgeous! Happy Birthday, enjoy the rest of your trip!
Happy birthday, Charlotte! You have so many great pictures of your family. It makes me think I need to take more of mine.
🙂 Marion
Loved it. Thank a lot for posting this. I’ll definitely return here to read more and inform my neighbors about it.
