Memorial Day Weekend can always be iffy weather, so this camping trip we opted to borrow my grandmother's RV. Boy is it nice to go camping in an RV with full hook-ups (sewer, water, electricity). I highly recommend it. Some of our neighbors joined us along with my mom. The rest of my family joined us for the day on Sunday.
Of course Brian took up his parent's ATV and his brother's ATV. Macy was always begging to go. We camped at Wasatch State Park near Midway (an old family tradition for me) so we had to drive the four wheelers to trails.
We didn't think about a helmet for the little man, so he had to use a slightly too large helmet. Check it out. Doesn't he look like a character from Star Wars? Braden had to ride with Brian so Brian could help hold all the weight on Braden's little neck.
We cooked our first ever dutch oven dinner in a dutch oven we have owned for over 9 years. It was delicious. My brother-in-law helped us figure things out before we went. We a rosemary roast with potatoes, hot buttery rolls and chocolate cherry dump cake (thinking about that cake right now is making me crave it, yummy).
We played a little ball at the park near by. The kids rode bikes all day long. We took a nature hike (didn't make it to the end because we had to turn around for the bathrooms).
Of course games were played.
And Braden sucked on plenty of rocks, ate dirt, consumed tons of sugar and played with lots of sticks. He was a mess by the end.
Well all of us consumed lots of sugar. There were plenty of campfire desserts; peach cobbler with ice cream, smores, campfire eclairs, and campfire banana boats. That doesn't even include all the other snacky stuff throughout the day. I think I should cut back next time and not bring up so many treats.
We even went to the 11 AM church in Midway (yes we showered first). It was like attending a stake conference it was so full. The man conducting mentioned that last year they had 1500 people in attendance for the 11 o'clock hour. I don't know how many were there that morning.
Lastly there was plenty of time around the campfire. The amount of laundry I did when we returned proved that.
