The second weekend in August we attended the Marx Reunion and went camping for 2 nights up near Joe's Valley. My parents planned it this year. It was a lot of fun and my kids loved every activity. They had a blast, but slept awful so Nate and I were pretty exhausted by the time we went home.
Jace loved playing in the fire with sticks (such a boy)
On Saturday we did some face painting.
Don't you love how well my soccer ball turned out?
I didn't pack warm enough clothes for the kids so my sister Cindy and I drove down the canyon to get reception to call our sister Ang who was heading up that evening. We asked her to bring some warmer clothes for my kids. While we were gone, Nate took the kids fishing at Potter's Pond. They both caught something so that was good because the only experience they have had with fishing was at a trout farm where you are guaranteed to catch something. Little do they know you can wait for hours without ever having a bite.
Jace hooked 2 fish at a time
Here is the video of Callie catching hers.
I love this photo. So cute!
Jace loved playing in these lounging chairs.
Jace with his cousin Kade. I just had to get a picture of how cute he was in the clothes Ang brought up. She was a life saver.
Here is Callie in her warm clothes. So cute.
This picture is of Callie comforting Jace after he fell down and was sad.
There was a fun activity with white elephant gifts. This picture is what Jace and Callie scored.
Now that my kids have had a taste of camping, they want to go all the time. We will have to make an effort to plan a couple of camping trips next summer.
