We left Thursday afternoon with a seriously packed car. My husband is a pro packer and I'm still amazed that he made everything fit. Sure, I had to ride a couple hours with boxes of chips and food on my lap, so high I couldn't see out the window...but still, he's a pro. We didn't dare open the trunk until we got to the campsite for fear everything would suddenly expand and come tumbling out. Luckily we were able to meet up with Steph in Brigham City where they took some stuff for us--Hooray!
Our stop in BC was at Wal-Mart. Kev had grabbed a pair of Asher's sandals for Rylan. That of course wasn't gonna work so we needed to buy Ry some flip flops. I also grabbed some swim diapers for Asher since we only had some small pink Dora swim diapers for him!
Ry was really excited to help his daddy set up the tent
Back at the campsite we sat around the fire talking and having a good time. Some of the kids did some cute skits for us which kept us entertained.
Hee, Hee--Asher really looks like he has ears!!
Friday morning Kevin left early with Vosti, John, and Dallin to go save a spot on the beach. And to get the wave runners. They got us the perfect spot where they set up our three canopies and we also had the covered picnic table.
Our day was perfect. Kevin took the boys out on the wave runner and they looooved it. He took me out and I was a wee bit scared! The second time we went out was more fun :)
Back at the beach the kids (and a few adults) dug in the sand, we had lots of food, some of us read, and we played in the sand and water some more. With several applications of sunscreen, Kev was the only one in my little family that got a sunburn. Oh wait, that's not true at all. Rylan and Asher both got a little burned under their eyes and Tyce (the poor thing) got a little burned on one small side of his face. One of my legs got a little red, too. So I guess we all got burned-darn!
Asher had so much fun playing with Lily!
Ry attached himself to this star floaty. John and Aubrey brought it up but Rylan took it over. That night before bed I mentioned we were going back to the beach the next day. Ry asked if he could play with the star again!
That night we had yummy taco salads back at camp. Again, we talked around the campfire, made s'mores, laughed, and had fun.
Asher had a bit of an emotional moment. He had fallen asleep on the way back from the lake but didn't quite get enough sleep in. He was mad at Kevin who was trying to change him out of his swim clothes. I tried comforting him and holding him which for some reason made me the bad guy. Asher left the tent with Kevin, giving me dirty looks and now mad at me. Uncle Andy, dinner, and licorice helped him feel better.
Frisbee in the field
Cousin Dallin roasted a marshmallow for Asher
Time for S'mores!
Steph had commented that if Tyce was fussy or crying, he'd calm down once he got one of his hands up by his face. So I had to take a few pictures of that!
Day 2 at the lake. No wave runners but it was still a fun day. The kids dug in the sand and played in the water. I mostly hung out in the shade with my baby :) The guys threw around a football and frisbee and of course we all munched on food!
Ry found a heart shaped rock
Asher was out in the water and got hit in the head with the frisbee which made him very sad. He came and hung out with me for a bit until he was ready to go play again. I just think he's such a cute boy :)
Ha! Isn't Ry a goof? I just loved that he wore this sand bucket like it was no big deal. Kids sure are funny! We all packed up and headed home, dreaming of being clean and rested but so happy with our fun weekend! I fell asleep on the way home but Ry and Asher stayed awake watching movies. While I was awake I read "The Maze Runner" to Kevin. (I also read it to him on the way there. I've read it before but it was fun reading out loud!)
After unpacking and showers we were all ready to relax and get in bed early!
