Camping at Wolf Creek Park 2009

Every Spring Break we have the tradition of camping with friends at Wolf Creek Park. This year was our third year and it seems that each year gets better and better. We probably had twenty families filling the loop we camp in. The best part is after you set one or two rules you can let the kids roam free because you know everyone in sight. Our good friends the Richards actually started this tradition twelve years ago...thanks York and Stacy we can't imagine Spring Break any other way!!

I love this little bum...

and, this sweet girl...

and, these two boys even when they're sad...

I also love this sight...it's probably the only time in life that I get a break from cooking

One happy baby, but are we surprised??

The boys always made time to stop by and visit Scarlet...

Even her love...Jake

Niko and Kai doing the chicken dance...

Taylor Bachrach and McKenzie Jenkins set up a face painting booth. It was a hit with almost every kid in the loop. Brandon made the comment at one point that if they set up a booth down by the marina they could charge $2.00 a face and walk away with a fortune. :-)

The rest of our days were spent going running, eating, and playing games...

Quite a few of the kids really got into making their own fires. I am not looking forward to the year my boys start this craze. Our first night camping Kim walked up to find Cubby telling ghost stories to all of the little kids around a fire pit minus the fire.

Most days I found Kai sitting around other peoples fires especially the Schroeder's...

Getting snow cones at the local convenience store...

I think the husbands might possibly have had the best time this year. Blue (one of the guys) brought a satellite and York brought a fairly large flat screen so they could all watch the BYU/AGGIE game. When they realized they couldn't get reception because of the large trees they took off into town to some small diner where they pretty much ate everything in sight for six bucks and watched the game all at the same time. The rest of the trip they either played basketball, baseball, and even raced at one point

Each night got warmer and warmer but the first night was a freezing 46 degrees. Kai's favorite part of camping was sleeping in the tent...

My 'lil' snow bunny. She woke up once the first night and slept through the night the rest of the time. What else can you do when you are this bundled up??

Poor Kai is allergic to fire ants and not a year goes by that he doesn't get attacked. Luckily we were able to medicate the bites on his back but, missed a few on his hands causing some pretty uncomfortable swelling.

And last but not least there were Jedi's on this camp out...

Hats off to another great camping trip!!
