Cousin's Camp

Emma and Jeremy.

Emma and Jackson hanging out in Nathan's truck.

My favorite part of the trip was the skits that the kids put on. They were so creative and did such a great job. It was great!

Emma wasn't quite sure what to make of the snow, but she loved it.

Nathan's fun gadget this year was a home-made potato gun. Those boys!

Andrew was having fun in the snow!

Emma and Keely, peeking out of the trailer door. They had fun doing "girl" things together.

Ethan peeking out of the chimney. They had fun playing in this old rock place.

Here we are at Cedar Breaks. The wind was icy cold up here. Eli was being camera shy, but everyone else had a smile for me.

Here are Eli and Dallin playing with trucks. They had such fun together.

Here is the whole group of cousins. We were taking a picture in the shirts they decorated. However, it was too cold for anyone to have their jackets off. They loved doing the shirts. That is one of the favorite things about cousins camp!

We just got home from our 4th annual cousin's camp. This year we went to Panguitch lake, in southern Utah. Let me start by saying there is a big difference between Arizona camping and Utah camping. It was beautiful up there and absolutely freezing cold! I had a hard time believing it was actually June. It was 48 degrees when we left Saturday at 10:00. Jeremy loved the weather. (He is crazy). We spent a lot of time trying to keep kids warm. Thankfully we had our 5th wheel. I am so grateful we were able to stay warm at night and have all the comforts of home with us. Especially a shower!

The kids had a blast with their cousins. They rode their bikes, made a fort, and did some crafts. Eli and Dallin were inseparable. They had such fun together. Emma got to spend some time with her girl cousins. I think she really loved Keely by the end of the trip.

We got some mountain biking in. Jeremy did some hardcore mountain bike trail with his brothers. I settled for a ride with the Moms and kids. We took a ride up to see Cedar Breaks. It was so pretty up there. We even found patches of snow. In June??? I still am amazed at the weather up there. Of course, it was so fun to play in the snow. Especially throwing snowballs.

We did lots of dutch oven cooking. It gave me a chance to use my birthday present. It was so fun to cook in a dutch oven. I can't wait to do it again. We of course had lots of campfires, glow sticks and Uncle Greg brought his projector so we could all watch a movie.

We are so grateful we were able to spend time together as a family and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Southern Utah. We can't wait for next year!
