The BIG adventure!

Every summer my parents take the opportunity to take each of the Grandkids for 3 days of camping. Our kids "LOVE" it! They love spending one on one time with their grandparents and I think my parents love having time with each of them. I know that someday our kids will look back and cherish the time that they had with their grandma and grandpa. As will they love and laugh at each memory they made.
This year Mason got to go with Jackson and Jacob. They went with Mom and Dad in the "old" camper. Mason was a little disappointed because he really wanted to go in the new trailer. BUT they had fun! They went to Mackey Reservoir in Idaho. The wind was rough so it made fishing tough. Mason said his favorite part was fishing with his Grandpa. He got to sleep on the top bunk. Mom and Dad were tired, but the boys had a great time.

Here are the boys-- Note that I did NOT cut Mason's hair my mother did! (I am sorry Ri' I know he looks like a D.I. child) Mace had to look like his cousins.


Holding their big catch.

This past week, both girls got to go with the "Big" girl cousins. Billie, Mikayla, Bailey, Megan and Hallie. They also went to Mackey. BUT they got to take the "new" trailer. My dad had a hard time saying No to the girlies. They have him twisted around their little fingers. They fished, rode bikes, swam, ate firepies and roasted s'mores. Nothing is better than being with Grandpa! Megans favorite part of the camp out was just getting to go-and Mikayla LOVED catching her first fish. Mikayla's comment on more than one occassion this past few days to me was--"I have the best grandpa in the Universe!"

Catching the Night Crawlers before the Camp out--Notice that Mikayla is holding the container! She is such a girl!

They conned grandpa into buying them all pickles at "Pickle Pete's"--ew!

The girl crew!

Now Mom and Dad only have 2 more to go. One with Caden, and one with all of the Little girls. Mom and Dad you rock, and you are the best! We sure love and appreciate all you do for all of the grandkids!
