Seriously though...why do people like camping?? Don't get me wrong, it was nice to be out in "nature". Friendly animals, rain off and on the whole day. Pounding rain all night. A dripping wet tent all night where the top of all our stuff including my pillow were soaked. Ah the joys!! :)
All that being said, we really had a great time! We went up Hobble Creek canyon (Springville, Utah; our old stomping ground). The kids LOVED it! We were all good sports (except for my cranky intolerance in the middle of the night) and chalked it up to a good, character building experience. The kids had a great time playing with cousins (Ben's brother Mike and his lovely wife Jenny and 5 kidlets joined in the rain fest). Grandma and Grandpa "S" and Ben's youngest brother Jon and sweet wife Alyson came up for a fire roasted BBQ dinner and peach cobbler that evening. It really was fun...
We had to tether Ikey! He is so active and busy. I was worried about his safety!
Here's some pictures!
On Saturday we went up to Midway Utah for Swiss Days and it was great fun! What a cute little town! They had the cutest booths set up and we enjoyed scones and homemade brautwurst hot dogs (Ben had them, I did NOT :) There is a special spirit in that town. It's amazing to be walking around with General Authorities and their families.
On tap for this week: a couple soccer games, dental appointment, Mutual for Ben and G-man's back to preschool tomorrow, YEAH! He's been bored without Princess to boss him around. :)
Hope everyone else had a great (and less wet than me) Labor day weekend!
ugh! I don't want to be a debbie downer, but what a crappy weekend (esp. monday) to go camping. It rained all sunday night and most of monday here, and the temps dropped absurdly! But I'm glad you guys had lots of fun. It would have been fun for us to stop by for cobbler too.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun. I am not that daring anymore. Jake always gets on me for not wanting to go out camping because we bought a bunch of nice camping gear when we were newlyweds. Now I am like," Hey, if there is a nice dayspa by our campsite, I am there :)!"

Oh what great memories! To bad for the rain. Joe and I were talking the other day that we should go camping. I dont really want to go, but it would be a great experience for the kids. Way to be tough!! Love your pics!
