We went camping on Labor day weekend with my parents and had a great time! We went to this great little camp ground in he middle of Utah called Maple Grove. It had a picturesque water hole where my Dad, John, and Erin went fishing. They caught a few fish too! The creek had a swing in it and a rope that swung across too. The camp ground had shade almost all day, which makes for really nice camping!Just walking along . . .
My Dad in the act of catching a fish!
What a catch! Erin caught 2 of her very own!
One day while my Dad and Erin were fishing on the other side of the creek, John and Devin decided they wanted to join them. Instead of going around to the road to cross, they decided to swing across on the rope. John tried it out first and couldn't get his foot out of the rope, but decided that he could probably take Devin across and put him down on the other side of the 
creek. That's not exactly what happened. they both ended up in the creek and Devin was not pleased to say the least, because the water was freezing!!!!!!!!! Funny to all of the rest of us though! The best part of it was that I took Devin straight back to camp, dried him off, cleaned him up, put dry clothes on him, and took his dirty clothes back down to the creek to wash them out. When I got back, Devin had plopped himself right back down in the dirt and was digging with a shovel. Boys . . . I guess I should have expected that. :)After . . .
Colin, by the way loved camping! We built a little fort area for him and he loved every minute of it. He actually slept better than the other kids did!Oh, and yes, it rained like crazy the last night we were there, but it didn't start until bedtime. Then the last morning we just packed up and went home. It was a very successful camping trip!More camping pictures:

That picture of John falling is priceless. LOL Love all your pictures of the kids camping. Another generation of campers!
Isn't camping so much work? It makes me so greatful that my parents took me as much as they did, because it is SO hard when you are the parent!! But it does creat wonderful memories for the kids and then someday they'll grow up and be campers.
Beeeauutiful form John! I can just hear the words coming out of your mouth. I wish we could've witnessed it. Good Pictures Marci!
Looks like you had a lot of fun. We almost always go camping Labor Day and have a blast.
