Conference Camping

We enjoyed watching conference in the mountains so much last October that we decided to go for round two last weekend. We camped just 13 miles east of Payson so it was a nice quick drive, but the ride home was a completely different story. The B-line was closed at the Bush Hwy turn off, so the back up was horrendous!!! It took us two hours to go about 30 miles - totally ridiculous. Despite the long ride home, the runny noses and coughs the boys developed, the sunburns, overeating, excessive dirt, and my nephew falling in the fire pit and being rushed to Payson ER - it was a great trip. The boys had so much fun getting filthy dirty, riding the quads, and playing with their cousins.

Notice the TV to the left of Tate. You can vaguely make out the MOTAB - see we really did watch conference!

Cute dirty face kid!

Play time.

Nap Time.


Time out is never fun - not even in the mountains.

Jack likes to pucker his lips when he says words that end with a ch or sh. In this picture he's saying "lunch".

Are these my true feelings about camping?

New hair style called too much fun on the quad!



The best part of camping? Non-stop eating!!!

Looks like you guys had lots of fun! I know Brett and the Crockett's are dying to go camping, but I think Girl's Camp will be enough for this year...don't you think?
