Our First Family Outing So Far

We finally did it we went camping this summer!!
We went down to Fairview canyon and spent Friday and Saturday in the mountains. It was nice to get away and have some fun with our good friends the Longs(Dan, Alicia, Jordan, Asher, Alexa). Nathan is now big enough I could let him wonder around and not be to worried and he enjoyed it immensely. He was all over. He loved throwing rocks into the stream and would jump up and down and clap every time he did. Kayla and Sydnee loved it too. They kept asking when we were going and we "finally" made it.( As Sydnee said) The girls were in the creek first thing and were having fun finding creatures that were in the water. We found out the mosquitoes adore Sydnee as she came home with a few bites (14 to be exact) and that is with bug spray every couple of hours. Todd made a wonderful dutch oven dinner, spare ribs, potatoes, and of course cobbler. (All in different ovens) It was great. We had visitors for that dinner: Gaylene and Brance, Alan and Aimee, Brian and Shayla, Suzanne and Josh. It was fun to have them come down and enjoy the cool mountain air and food with us. W had a great breakfast , breakfast burritos that Alicia made. The kids enjoyed roaming and hiking around camp and going on a ride on the four wheeler and shooting guns. We also watched for any kind of wild life, we mostly saw deer. It was great and we got out just in time. As we were loading up a big storm hit and hit fast. It was really windy and cold rain. We did get drenched loading up the four wheeler and a few items on the trailer but were glad we had everything else done and inside. We were also glad to have the Longs jump us so our car would start and we weren't stuck up there. It was a great weekend and we can't wait to go again!!!
