Camping Box Elder Style

Two weekends ago we went camping at

Box Elder Campgrounds.

Friday night we arrived and had a yummy camp dinner,

we put the kids to bed after Sarah told scary stories

and played a cold game of hand & foot!

We had such a fun time.

Our tents were pitched within earshot of the running

river and we were awakened by the chirping birds! We had an enjoyable time with

Jeffrey, Sarah, Eric, Liz and the kids.
Eric & Laura spent some quality time blocking the sun!

Ed & Calista enjoyed the morning campfire.

We were amazed at how cold it got.

Peek-a-boo...

I see you!

There's Calista eating the grass!

Is grass considered a whole grain?

Laura and Naomi picked flowers for mom.

How sweet!

Leah and Mikell

(later joined by the rest of the kids)

had fun crossing the small river, via log!

Saturday after breakfast and clean-up

the kids went fishing.

Scott was a cutie in his party hat!

The Dad's and kids scorched while

waiting for the fish to bite.

Laura- the master fishergirl!

Ed & Naomi try their luck.

Leah screamed "Ahhh, a snake"!

We rush over and see this dead snake

hanging from this sign. And we thought

she might be in danger!

After fishing we let the girls play in the water at Mantua.

Of course, Calista ate the rocky sand.

One of Ed's many funny faces.

Leah helped Calista in the cold water.

Naomi didn't mind!

What a cutie!
