OH, How much I look forward to this weekend each year! If you're not familiar with our tradition....the deal is like this: the girls get to go up Friday night, then the families are more than welcome to come up & join us the next day, for the rest of the weekend. The kids really love it too, as these are their best friends they've grown up with. And the husbands/significant others do too (right guys?! :})..they know they do! We, Chris, Kolette & I, were relieved to finally get there after MY driving for that long! Ha Ha :}
So, the point of this moment, which was hilarious, was to capture the beautiful sunset (and all of us scattered around the cabin area). Hard to work that with only a few minutes left in the day, and a bunch of cameras. Though made for an entertaining moment together (like it was the Paparazzi thing or something). Oh how I luv my Bonko Sisters! :}
Yea, well good thing I all ready got a picture beforehand too! :}
Cute "Julie'N", our sweet & generous Cabin/Bonko Hostess. It's so kind of her to offer up their family cabin for us each year...THANKS GIRLFRIEND, YOU ROCK!
Still attempting pictures without everyone getting pushed & stepped on :}
Yes folks, we DO actually play BONKO when we go for camping weekend! :}
Some of the 1st ones to arrive the next day, including Megan & the Moultons (and we were so glad Meg decided to join us this year! We luv you Meg! :})
That's precious! :}
Julie & her daughter, Jennica
Looking over at Strawberry Reservoir
Tiffers
More arrive...loving our time in the mountains with our Extended Family! :}
Oh, Tyler...what a cute little character! :}
The girls getting their own tent
You'd think they were sisters! They were so excited to get Aleah's hammy downs & have matching shirts! :}
Cuteness everywhere....
"Kids, Beware what happens when you mess with the adults!" :}
He did get them good though! They were listening to the BYU game & Dylan yelled that they had scored & won the game! (NOT!) And this could be why Dylan gets messed with often! :}
Gotta love whatever Parent/Children Moments you get!
Looking for treasures!
Our Crazy Girls, the Sorority Sisters (at least you would have thought based on their loudness as they all slept in Moulton's trailer that night! Which I know Jeff & Julie LOVED to be next to! :})
Alexis & her cute puppy. She's such a doll! :}
The boys listening to the rest of the BYU Game, where most were happy to hear they lost! (hey family, I'm staying out of it...I'm just sayin'!...It's all about the rankings! :})
The kids getting in Movie Time (I know, it's all about being in the nature...but, they can all enjoy a good movie together too! :}) This night is was Napolean Dynamite, what a classic goofy show, I luv it!
"OH, GOOD BIG BROTHERS!" :}
Meanwhile, the party continues....
The guys getting in some football
It's always fun until someone gets hurt! Of course, Dylan is used to it! (He is MY kid after all! :})
Breakfast time! We had yummy Dutch Oven meals, we (mainly Jules & Tina I should say), do it right!
So glad Char & Alexis decided to stay the whole weekend too! Even if they hated the cold! :})
Yea, I'm a Dork...so what?! :}
She is such a sweet & beautiful girl!
Of course, so are they!.....
It was time to go Crawdad fishing!
The kids love the thrill of finding them!
The wind was really picking up
The creepy crawlers they worked hard to catch
Tracy & Brandon got the hang of it!
The girls had enough of the wind, they decided they wanted to play in the truck instead
Jules is ready to fly in it!
All right, we've had enough!
But, not of the view!
I think it wore someone out!
Back to camp to get the fire going & the water boiling!
Andy is having to see how these taste!
"Ummmm, food!" (I think these guys could eat 24/7!)
A gooey marshmallow mess; but, I'm sure the smore was all worth it!
Who's a Ute's Fan?!
"Give me a U!"
Another fun & fabulous weekend together! Oh, does summer REALLY have to end all ready?!
