August...time to go camping!

Every year I take my kids camping with our friends, for our ward campout. This time, since Summer couldn't do tent camping, I took the 3 older kids and Summer stayed home with Daddy.

We got to Ensign Ranch around 4 PM and stayed most of the next day....we managed to squeeze a lot in that short time :) We had BBQ dinner, roasted marshmallows on our "fire", had a group gathering with the ward, I took a 2 AM polar bear dip in the river (brrrrrrr), we ate breakfast all together, packed up, played on the water slide, floated down the river, rode canoes....and, went out to dinner on our way home! Phew! Lots of fun!


The burn ban induced fire!

Tom stole my chair!

Ben and Cathy....camping buddies every year :)

Morgan was so excited about "sleeping" in a tent...she wouldn't sleep!

Cathy was our photographer at 2 AM....it was COLD, but somehow warm....can you say hypothermia?

Morgan and Sadie are best buds!

Antonio and Tom got stuck sleeping in the van :)

Andrew and Owen

Floating down the river...we all held on together....I tied Morgan and Andrew to me...it was lots of fun....Morgan was nervous, but still did it several times :)
