We went up to Ryan and Shelly's family's place ( a big huge lot with all kinds of stuff to do) on the mountains above mapleton (I should know what the name of that mtn. is, but it eludes me right now). We had so much fun! Lezlie and Merlin brought their family's ranger (like a mini-jeep/4 wheeler) and Todd and Amy brought up some 4 wheelers. We played on the toys, the zip-line, had yummy food (hamburgers from Lezlie and Merlin, Hot dogs from Amy and Aaron-80 of them!!!!, and chips and drinks from the Haslems. Cam and I made cobler in the dutch ovens and then we roasted marshmallows and made smores! There were stories 'round the camp fire and lots of laughs! Thanks so much everyone for the great memories! We are so grateful for the area and the ward that we live in!
We got to take off for a while and followed the little ones in the ranger. There were amazing views from this mountain once you got up a bit higher!
Here comes trouble. Three of the four littlest ones there were in the 4x4 with Eva driving! Jaynee decided to hop in the back. Good thing their wheels just spun on the ground and they really couldn't go anywhere, or we would have had three little daredevils cruisin around the mountain.
Eva, Jaynee and Isabelle lovin' their big girl jeep!
Kaylee and Jesslyn thinking they were going to drive the ranger. This thing is so cool.
Emmie eating her favorites-Hotdogs, chips and soda. She is in heaven-sitting next to Marin.
The kids in the back of the ranger before Merlin took them on a ride.
Jaynee making the treak up to the zip-line. She got about 10 feet up and starting crying-it was steep and so Scawey!
The treacherous climb to the zip-line (there was a much easier way, but this was how the boys go the zip-line rope up to the top each time.)
This is a picture of Kaylee and Jesslyn on the zip-line. Not such a good picture to show how funny Kaylee's face was, but this shows how high up it was.
Aaron the "jungle cat" in his "jungle element". Aaron was the one at the top to take the zip-line further up the hill to the starting spot.
This was Emmie and I. She was a peice of tape the first time we went down, but the next two times she watched it all.
Here is a few of them climbing the woodsy hill up to the top-it was really steep. The next day Kailey and Jesslyn told me their legs were sore from climbing the hill. It was a pretty fun hike.
This was Emmies third or maybe 10th can-I don't know, I lost count!!! Such a little junk food junkie!
Shelly chasing Eva. Look how scared Eva looks!
Emmie listening closely to Ryan's "Mountain Pervert" story. Don't worry, that's just what its called-there really is no mountain pervert involved-just a great BIG BEAR!
Kind of blurry, but this was about 1/3 of the kids-we counted and there were a total of 20 kids-we are pretty lucky we didn't have to go looking for any of them, although Eva was on her way up to the zip-line while we were all around the camp fire, while it was pitch dark. I swear that girl has NO FEAR! Good luck Amy and Aaron!
Kaylee listening to one of Ryan or Aaron's stories. Lots of Laughs!
Two peas in a pod. So cute.
This is what Jaynee did while everyone talked around the campfire!
