Jordanelle

Paul, Danny, Ashley, James, Jason and I took the boat and went camping at Jordanelle.  Jason had some new experiences that he was not too sure about.   Paul did his usual thing and dumped both Danny and James out of the double tube into the 70 degree water.   We had some "fun neighbors" and had to deal with a little rain, but all in all we had a nice time.

Fishlake 2011

We returned to the Sunflower cabin with the Peterson clan at Fishlake.  It is my dad's favorite place to be and he has been going there for about 70 years.  He loves to go fishing about 7:30 in the morning.   Paul, Brent, Braden and dad caught about 15 fish.   The cabin only had one bathroom so our showers were short, but we had loads of fun.

 

Fun Times in August

The month of August has been full of a lot of family camping and fun.   I am way behind on my pictures and have lots of them to add to this blog.   We just returned from a week at Lake Powell last night and while it is fresh on my mind on want to thank my family and friends for making it such a fun trip.   But . . . make no mistake . . . this is a VERY HARD camping experience.   It is not for the "fair weather" camper.   You have to be able to stand extreme heat for 18 hrs a day, endless sand in everything, spiders, ants, mice, lizards, snakes, frogs, toads, wind, and rain, and did I mention more sand???   You have to love the beautiful green water because it is your lifesaver at Powell!!!!   You have to be a hard worker and pull your share of the work and then some.  We go through sunscreen, and water by the gallons and come home dead tired!!   Now some of you may say why do you go every year ???? . . .  it is because of the wonderful memories we create and the bonds we form and the beauty around us that our Father in Heaven has created.
