Camping and Stuff

Heidi is still all over Niles. I have to watch her pretty close, but she loves to take him in her room and read him stories and snuggle him. The other day She took these pictures of him on her bed.sweet little baby!

James took these pictures of his room (he actually took about 20, but these are the only ones where you can see something).


dinosaurs!

On Thursday night we went up to Pine Creek and had a family campout before the Ward Campout on Friday. Here's James enjoying a cream soda at the campfire.

The next morning (Friday) Michaela Claar joined us for a yummy griddle breakfast adn a noon hike to Pine Creek Falls. The missionaries came, too.

Here we are at the top of the hike, relaxing next tot he waterfall.

Here we are heading back down the trail--Heidi holding on to Niles as usual. Addie, Michaela and the missionaries were just ahead of us.


Me & my boy on the trail


Family Hike!


Later, Rich took Niles and I walked with Heidi. She wanted to sing songs to make the walk go faster, so we sang all her favorite Primary songs, starting with "Pioneer Children sang as they walked, and walked, and walked..."


The end of the trail...tired baby!

We didn't take any more pictures after that, darn it. But we had a wonderful time Friday night and Saturday morning with our ward family. Brother McCann served delicious pulled pork and ribs that had been smoked all day, and Brother Jones brought tons of Wilcoxson's ice cream for dessert. We played games & chatted around the fire and had a great time. We got home at noon on Saturday, just in time to get ready for a nice quiet Sunday.
