Family Camping 2017

Friday morning, July 21, we headed back down to Bear Lake for the weekend for our family camping weekend! What I had been looking forward to all summer!

After we got to Bear Lake we stopped and Tam and Er's to follow them up to camp, stopped at Broulims to grab a few extra things and lunch and headed up to camp!

When we got to camp it was just going to be us there for awhile so we went on a razor ride!

Jacks rode with us the first half

Tills rode with us the first half and then we switched and Paiz rode with us back! Jacks switched razors too and rode back with Tam and Er :)

When we got back to camp Trish and her kids were there waiting for us! We sat around and talked until everyone else started showing up and then we made a fire, cooked hot dogs, marshmallows and s'mores and talked some more! Late into the night :)

I took these pictures because both Tommy and my boots are super old! But they are our favorite ones! We love them!

The next day we went to the lake for the Woolstenhulme family reunion and hung out there for the day!

Then we headed back to camp to start cooking dinner-dutch oven ribs and potatoes! YUM!! And dutch oven cherry cobbler and apple crisp! And another night of talking around the fire late into the night! :) Love my family!!

Sunday morning we made breakfast burritos for breakfast, cleaned up camp and headed back to town. Tommy and I had taken Monday off as well so we could stay Sunday night for the twins and Tally's birthday party!

Monday morning we went to Dingle pond and went fishing with the kids before we had to head back to Twin!

2 weekends down, 1 to go! Next weekend I am coming back down to Bear Lake for the last time this summer for my Mom's Johnson reunion! I have loved coming to Bear Lake so much this month!!

Little Sister Weekned

This year at work when they told us to request our summer vacation days off I realized we hadn't planned on doing anything for summer vacation this year. So I decided to go to all my family reunions instead! They are usually hit and miss on the ones I can make it to.

The first one was the Skinner reunion on July 15th, so I went down early Friday morning to spend the whole weekend with my two little sisters! We spent the day at the lake Friday, went to dinner at El Jaliciense aka The Mexican Restaurant in Montpelier aka the best Mexican restaurant EVER! and then headed out to camp at the campground until the family reunion the next day :) And I felt pretty grown up camping all by ourselves haha... I am 24, I know!

I meant to take pictures at the lake but totally forgot! So I only got one when we were camping :)

We made s'mores over the cash cooker, spent the night playing games and laughing until my chest hurt and my eyes were crying, and fell asleep watching Pirates of the Caribbean. The next morning we made pancakes, eggs, bacon, and hot chocolate for breakfast and cleaned up camp to go get cleaned up ourselves and ready for the reunion! And I have to give credit where credit is due!... Kyla was the one who pretty much planned all this and packed everything we needed and brought everything to make breakfast! She was the mastermind and super prepared! Better than me! I was super impressed! 

 After getting ready we spent the rest of the day with my Skinner family at the reunion!

I also wanted to throw this picture in here. I had this painting made for Tam the day after Cashton was born and was finally able to give it her! I was so excited and super pleased with how it turned out! They LOVED it!!

1 Bear Lake trip down, 2 to go!!
