Pine Valley '08

This weekend we went camping with Chad's family in Pine Valley, UT. The weather was beautiful and it was so nice being able to relax and just have family time. The first night there, we got quite a thunder and lightning storm. There was hardly any rain, which was good, but the the storm was awesome. I have never experienced anything like it. The thunder was so loud and would practically echo through the mountains, and the lighting would light up the sky. It was a little frightening and amazing all at once. Thankfully the kids slept through it, cause I am sure they would have been terrified.

During the days we would do a lot of relaxing. The boys went fishing several times, and caught lots of fish. None of us are big fish eaters, so they were catching them and throwing them back. We did cook a couple of them, and they turned out really good. (for fish) Uncle Jason brought a bean bag toss game that was a big hit with everyone. Chad and his brothers can get very competitive. It was a lot of fun!

All packed up and ready to go!

Spencer was so excited to finally get there after about 2 1/2 hours of driving.

David told me that one of his favorite parts about camping is that he can eat and drink without having to sit down at the table.

Lots of hammock time...

Bean bag toss.

Fun by the campfire.

Fishing time! Uncle Jason broke his streak of no fish in 12 years! (this first picture was Chad teaching the boys how to cast. This is the only fishing action Spencer got)
