Three Catch-up Posts...

So I have a lot of pictures I've needed to post, so I decided to make three different posts out of them.

This first one is of a camping trip we took with my sisters over Memorial Day Weekend. My brother-in-law's grandpa owns a dry farm up above Heise/Kelly Canyon area. Every Memorial Day Weekend, their family camps up there. We were invited to go with them this year. It was beautiful up there. It was perfect camping--the area was beautiful, the weather was great, and there was lots of things for the kids to do! Thanks Josh and your family for letting us invade your family get-together.

Mike, Brooke, and Kyler (Jason's oldest) setting up the tent.

This is the view at dusk...you can see the Snake River below. It was absoluetly beautiful!

Emily brought a toy truck from home and was playing by herself...she was lost in her own little world (until she noticed I had a camera)!

Brooke is right at home playing in the dirt, so is her cousin Adam. These two had lots of fun playing in the dirt and spraying with the hose. Unfortunately, Adam was on the wet end of the hose, by the time these two were done playing, they were MUDDY and WET but they had lots of fun playing and it kept them busy for a long time.

Josh's grandma brought up a slip and slide for the kids to play on. This is a picture of Kyler going on the slide. The kids loved this and played on it for quite a while.

Dutch oven cooking is something Mike LOVES LOVES LOVES to do. When he was working at Ricks, the guys we worked with introduced him to it and he's been hooked ever since. We haven't been able to break out our Dutch ovens for a couple of years, so Mike jumped at the chance to help Josh and Jill cook Dutch oven chicken and potatoes. Yummy, yummy! Ahh, the fruits of your labor! It really was delicious...people went back for seconds and thirds!

And the best part is, we've been invited to go again next year!
