Memorial Weekend Camping Trip

Thank goodness summer has arrived.  For our family summer means camping and after being cooped up all winter long camping trips can't come soon enough.  We were able to make it out camping over Memorial Weekend and were lucky enough to be joined by Chad parents and grandparents for part of that trip. 

We decided to keep it simple and camp on Chad's grandparent's property, which meant we were able to plug the trailer in the cabin and have full hook ups.  NICE!  We took the bike and four wheeler and spent the first day riding around the property, building forts, playing on the swing, and building up a mighty nice rock collection.

That night we were surprised to have grandpa and grandma join us.  The girls were thrilled to wake up to the news that they had come to play with them.  They ended up bringing their two Razors (which we hadn't played with yet) so we decided to pack some lunches and head up the mountain for a little afternoon ride.  The girls did pretty good especially little Mylie who wasn't the biggest fan of her helmet.

During our little ride up the mountain we were able to find ourselves a patch of snow.  Building a snowman is always a must, so grandpa helped Kinsie build one.  Then he helped her get a pretty decent snowball fight going.

After some fun in the snow we drove back down the mountain to play in the water.  Only in Utah can you enjoy playing in the snow and water on the same day.  We had been seeing a lot of ticks and even found one crawling in Britnee's hair.  YUCK!  Luckily I happened to have several bandannas with me so the girls wore them the entire time.  I couldn't get over how cute they looked.

After a long day of riding and having fun we headed back to the trailer/cabin for dinner.  Just after we pulled in great grandpa and grandma showed up and joined our little party.  Hot dogs and smores were on the menu that night so Britnee helped dad get a fire going and we ate to our hearts content, or at least until our bellies felt like they were going to pop.

This picture of Britnee kills me!

The next day we rode for a little bit, had lunch, then packed up and came home.  It was a short trip, but fun was had by all.  We're looking forward to the next time we can get out and enjoy some more time with the family.

The girls decided to dress up like mom and dad.  These two crack me up

Can't forget this little lady. 

She loves it when I pull out the camera and immediately says, "cheeeeese..."
