Camping Trip

*yes that is a lizard she is kissing!*

















Last Wednesday we packed up all the gear and kids and headed to the La Sal mountains, near Moab. We went with the 3 other families. We had 11 kids, 6 hound dogs, 3 family dogs, 8 adults and many 4-wheelers between all of us. We were lucky enough to have bribed Lynn's brother into loaning us his camp trailer, which ended up being a life saver. We had a wonderful time visiting, eating, 4-wheeling, and monitoring kids. The boys were able to get the dogs out a few times to look for bear tracks, and they found some! It rained and rained and rained. We were praying that we could leave on Sunday like planned and the sun actually shined for the most of the day, which helped the mud dry so we could all get out safely. So we all made it home for Memorial Day. The kids had so much fun together. They only had a few issues here and there. I was worried that they would get on each others nerves, but they were sad leaving each other. They spent hours making "houses" out of rocks and sticks, pine needles, and other natural stuff. They were so creative and good! We girls had a great time and never ran out of things to talk about! I think the boys wish they could have had more tracking time, but they managed. We appreciate the help in transporting our crew to and from the outing, all the food that was given to them, time spent on others 4-wheelers, and help monitoring them. It was super fun and we really appreciate friends!
