July 7th - 10th: Camping + Last Stretch

July 7th - A tasty lunch at La Jolla Groves with Scott and Jen Harrison + Preston.  We forget how much we have fun together! 

Later that day...Camping at Deer Creek.  Kevin and I took the baby home with us to the hotel, and the rest of my family (grandma beth and pappi, aireen, danny, jake, abby, and our three kids) camped overnight.  It was so fun to play card games, roast marshmallows and smell like campfire.  Wonderful weather, with a little bit of rain, but that didn't mess our camping - no mud! Of all the years we lived in Provo, we had no idea that such a beautiful camp existed only 20 minutes away!  And more pictures:

 Allie was camping in style

 The picture doesn't do the view justice!

 We played some card games in the tent while waiting for the rain to let up

 Only Kevin would bring a laptop camping. 

 Kevin had a hard time putting out the fire from the marshmallow.  He says that it is the way he likes it.

July 8th - Spent the day with Grandma and Pappi at the house.  Filipino BBQ!

My dad and Bubs

July 9th - Spent half the day with family, then drove to Kingman to see my sister and her family.  You would think after 8 hours in the car they would be out.  Nope.  The kids, except for Maddie who started to run a fever after we got home, stayed up til 2:30.  I did too - chatting with my sister of course.

July 10th - Church time!  and lunch and more hanging out with the Dickersons - until it got too late and we had to leave to come home.  4 hours later at 9 p.m. we were home.   It was a good thing even though none of us wanted to be home because Maddie ended up sick for a few days after.  It would have stunk to be in a hotel room with a sick kid all week.
