Monday we got camp set up, just in time for a huge thunder and rain storm! It rained for a good hour or so. Claire and Carlie were in David and Linda's tent for a while, then after a few really loud thunder claps, Carlie was back in our tent! Colton slept through most of the storm!
Tuesday we slept in, had scones for breakfast, then hiked down to the creek. We saw an owl in the grassy area hiding. We think it was injured. It was neat to see an owl up close though. We had lunch, some of the kids napped, then we headed up to Strawberry Point. I don't think i've ever been up there, but it was beautiful! A little scary though!
Wednesday we got ready, and headed down to Parowan to take a mid week shower! Im SO glad the yellow house is so close. I don't think I could of handled being dirty for an entire week! After everyone got showered, we went to Cedar to have dinner at the Pizza Factory. David and Linda headed back to Vegas and everyone else went back up to camp.
Thursday Aaron, Joey and Keri took Claire and Carlie fishing. They didn't catch anything, but they sure had fun watching the people around them catch fish! I don't think they tried too hard! :)
Friday we got everything packed up and headed home!
During our down time, the kids went on hikes, everyone played volleyball, and threw a frisbee around. We had a deer that was wondering around the campsite all week. She came SO close to us. We were able to walk up to her, and she would just keep eating, and not run away. It was pretty neat. there were TONS of chipmunks/squirrels that kept us entertained. A couple of them would walk right under the table we were sitting at!
We had a great time, and the week went by way too fast. I think we may have to make this a yearly tradition!
