There were a lot of people there!
Jeff took twenty (?), thirty(?), a hundred (too many to count) nieces, nephews and grandkids fishing. He let every single kid have a turn, some even got second and third tries. Almost every kid caught a fish. Well, probably every kid caught one, but some kids, who will remain unnamed, lost one or two as well.
There was lots of teenager fun...
...and singing at the campfire.
There were marshmallows and some jaw dropping marshmallow feats performed.
We saw lovely blue dragonflies...
...humongous moths...
...and lots of deer.
It was a great trip :)
She pulled the release when she was suspended in the air and went into freefall -
Out of maybe 50 boys and girls, she was the first up to the top of the climbing wall...
...AND the very first one to make it ALL the way across this whatever it is (help here would be appreciated) -
She didn't want me to put up the video of her going all the way across, but she let me put up this little bit of her at the end. Listen to all that applause! That's my Gwen :)
The turtle pond was a favorite with all.
We went with Brecken and Natalie to Chinatown...
...and out for dim sum. Yum!
During the week they were here, our ward had a camp fundraiser auction. I made and donated some cakes. Rachel promised peanut butter cookies and Heather and Gwen auctioned off some babysitting. The auction made enough money to pay for camp - whew!
While we were having fun down here with Brecken and Natalie, Heather and Gwen were riding horses and...
...catching snakes :)
I guess wiping up all that hot fudge up got me in a mood, because I decided to clean out my fridge, including taking the shelves out, washing them in warm soapy water and watching two of the four explode...self destruct...and fly all over the kitchen. Poor Michael even got hit and cut (just a tiny bit) by flying refrigerator shelf shrapnel.
