Palisades Camping Trip

Guess it is time to play catch up.  Between being so busy this last month and not having internet half the time (hopefully the problem is solved) I just gave up on the blog for awhile.  I attempted several times but it was so frustrating trying to load pictures and then have the internet go out for several days.  But here I am.  I got up early this morning, found some good efy music on you tube to listen to, and I am determined to get as much blogging done as I can before my kiddos wake up.  

Last month we went on a camping trip with my family.  I had been looking forward to this for quite awhile and Claire....well I shouldn't have even told her about it until the day we left because she was so excited that she started "packing" a week in advance and was getting very frustrated that I was not packing too. Although it was very entertaining to see the things that she thought she would need while camping.

The only downside to the trip was that Luke was not able to come this time.  He was working in the Salt Lake Temple while it was closed and just couldn't get work off.

The grandkids made their way into Grandpa's tent and were busy telling him ghost stories.

My mom, sister, Claire and Rilynn out on the paddle boat.


This boy suddenly decided he liked the water while we were there.  He would run towards the water the second he could see it.  At first he just wanted to throw in rocks and then he decided to throw himself in.  He had a blast.  And yes, I probably do look half asleep in this picture.  This little man sleeps amazing when he is at home in his own bed and all alone.  Outside, in a tent, with his momma and big sis, and wind blowing the tent around....well you can guess how well he slept.  Lets just say we spent quite a bit of quality time together in the middle of the night driving the streets of Manti.


The next day it rained and rained and rained but for the most part it was pretty warm.

We played lots of games.... 

and played in lots of puddles....

and tried fishing in a puddle....

and climbed this awesome tree...
