Camping with the Nielson's

We went camping with the Nielson's up Payson Canyon.  Those who came:  Scott and Fam, Sheri and Fam, Marcy and Fam, and Us!  4 out of 8 siblings, not too shabby.

Corey pretty much played on this bike the entire time.

As you can see we had a beautiful spot with lots of playing room!

Sheri, Aubrey, and Peter

Becca and Abby

Brooke and Mckayla

Casey, David, Kelsey, Brooke in their hut.

Too many to name:

My boys:

Uncle Spencer brought a bb gun and the kids had a blast shooting pop cans with it.  Such a nice uncle, and so patient!


Uncle Spencer also brought these jumping thing-a-majigger stilts.  It was hilarious and scary to watch!  You can jump super high and run really fast.  All of which you are putting your life in danger!  Spencer has had lots of practice on them and was pretty good.


Peter was the only one brave enough to try them.  He was crying, laughing so hard at first.  It was like watching a little kid learn how to walk again. He had people on both sides of him holding him up.  Once he stopped laughing he got the hang of it.  Started off walking and then thought he'd try jumping and running.

He did really good but it wasn't without it's falls!  I guess their isn't a graceful way to get down off those things.

He thought he would pose after retrieving a knife that was lodged high up in a tree.

We all headed up to Payson Lakes to play around for a bit.

Isn't this such a cute crack?



It was a blast!  It was wonderful weather.  We played volleyball and did lots of activities.  Went on a little trail walk/hike, ate well and had fun!
