Camping with Lynn and Ben!

We went to Wasatch State Park for five days, camping!  It was so much fun, especially because Lynn and Ben joined us.

  We wanted to get one last trip in before school started for the boys.

Playing games while it rained outside

I took this picture at dusk and it turned out beautiful!

Lighter fluid equal instant flame!

There were summer thunderstorms all while we where there.  This is what the sky looked like when we were sitting around the campfire.  It was something to witness!

A trip into Midway

This place makes the most delicious cheese curds…aka squeaky cheese

The boys watching cheese be made!

I love this picture of Benny Boo

Everything in the Red Barn

Playing in the Creek

Charlie building what he called Charlie Dam Hoover!

Exploring!  We hiked quite a ways up the creek.

In fact while we were exploring and hiking in the creek for an hour my camera unbeknown to me had fallen out of my pocket and feel into the creek.

Charlie luckily found my camera back at his dam he built.  It was still on and was completely submerged.  As Charlie handed it to me the little orange light slowly flickered off and it gave up the ghost.

Well to say the least I was so upset because I thought I had killed my camera for good. 

Not so a couple weeks drying out and a new battery pack my camera is as good new!  Cannon Cameras are the best! 

My camera is like a good friend, I take it every where I go!

I have taken so many pictures with my trusty little camera, I am so glad it still works. 

We made boats and had races!

Refreshing

We all went on a hike together on a trail near the creek.  It was the strangest thing, we did not feel like we had been hiking that long but somehow we got very far from camp.  We ended up cutting through the forest and finding a road to return back to camp on!

Lynn teaching the boys how important it is to leave your footprint with the Forest Ranger before leaving on a hike. 

  For those familiar with Cub Scouts this will look familiar.  You use tinfoil and put it on top of a towel and then step on the tinfoil to make an imprint of the sole of your shoe.

Then if you get lost they can use that imprint to find your footprint!

LOL we did this after our crazy hike that took us way up the mountain without us knowing.  Well they will know for next time!

Reading Junnie B. Jones!  This is such a found memory!
