The First Week of July, part two

PINE CREEK CAMP OUT!
On Thursday, July 5th, we headed up to Pine Creek to camp out until Saturday. I slept at home with Niles both nights, but we spent the days and evenings at camp with our family and freinds who were up there. On Friday morning whiel I was at PT, Rich adn the big kids hiked to the falls.

I joined them later and we found a nice rocky beach on the creek.

We set to work building stick boats and beach shelters...another fairy village.

So nice of mother nature to provide us a bench!

Niles loved throwing rocks and he giggled when they made a "plop" sound or splashed on him.

At 6pm we gathered at the pavilion for a Ward Dinner--Steve McCann (who owns the local Dairy Queen and is a great cook) smoked a zillion ribs & brought yummy Wilcoxon's ice cream,  and people brought the most delicious salads. It was super fun! Afterward, family and friends gathered at our campsite and Grandma snuggled Niles. 

The S'mores Crowd- Gavin Roberts, Cousin Dan, Aaron Roberts, Addie, Carter Roberts,  TJay, Me, Zach, Cousins Lexi & Summer, Uncle Jess...

Thankfully, it rained a little Thursday night which allowed us to have a campfire...the BEST part of camping!
