Ward Campout

Last Friday was the ward campout. It was at the Spanish Fork River Park, only about 15 minutes away. We took stuff so that if we wanted to we could spend the night, but weren't sure since there was a slight chance of rain. It was nice, we didn't have to plan for dinner or breakfast because the ward was doing it.

At about 10:30 or so, we were getting about ready to go. We hadn't set up the tent or anything so we weren't going to stay but Caleb REALLY wanted to. So we decided to stay. We borrowed Jeff's parents' old tent, which we had never put up before, and it was dark. Needless to say it took a long time, but thanks to a handy family in the ward we actually got it up. We had a twin matress for Chloe and Caleb and a queen for me and JEff and Claire had her pack n play. But by morning, it was me, Jeff, Chloe and Caleb on the big matress so squished. It was cold and there were train tracks nearby and a couple trains came through in the middle of the night.....yeah, we didn't sleep well AT ALL!!! But it was fun and the kids LOVED it.

Here's part of where we camped. Really, if I'm going to camp, this place was great. It had a nice playground for the kids, lots of grassy area, a pavillion and really nice clean bathrooms!

Jeff decided ot take a picture of us waking up in the morning. It was so cold, we had a hard time getting up!

We took a drive a few minutes further up the canyon. This is either Mount Loafer or Mount Nebo....I can't remember which!


This is in Thistle...there was a mudslide that made a dam in the river and caused a huge flood like 15 (I think) years ago. This house is still half way under water!
