Yes, school has started, but that doesn't mean that we can't run up the canyon for a last-minute summer camp out!
That's exactly what we did the second weekend of September with our extended family.
With a little help we had the tents up ready for a restful (or not so restful) slumber in the woods.
Girl cousins like to stay up late chatting!
Grandma froze! Our second day of camping turned into a huge downpour...
which we tried to wait out, but finally decided to head back to Grandma's house and watch the BYU game....after the game we headed back up for another restful slumber.
Our youngest had the breakfast of champions: grapes and soda pop! Hey, when you're camping, anything goes.
The rest of us enjoyed sausage, french toast, fruit....the works!
When this guy arrived, the party really got started!
When camping, cute faces like these are proof that we are having fun.
And cups of giant slugs are proof the boys are also having fun.
Other fun activities include: science homework (insect catching), 
begging for treats,
playing in the dirt,
chatting with Grandma,
and watching Grandpa cook in the dutch oven.
But that's not all, we also spend plenty of time in the creek
and many hours playing card games.
Yet, I think the most looked-forward to event is:
a tasty steak dinner with corn on the cob and dutch oven potatoes.
Food tastes best up the canyon with family! 
I am so happy every time I get to share in one of your family gatherings. It is such a blessing! Your kids knowing their cousins and doing fun things with them is just the best!
