Yuba Lake Family Camp Out

Over the first few days in August, we had the chance to do some camping.  Trent's parents had 3 ATVs and reserved campsites and wave runners and such for the time.  We were so excited.  Being closer to family is so much nicer, so many cousins for the kids to play with and Gma and Gpa are near for the kids to enjoy.  We went down to Yuba Lake south of Utah County.  Although the sites were very...dry and hot, it was still a great time.

Gpa giving instructions to the kids on how to ride the kid ATV.  They loved having a 4wheeler to themselves.  As you can see Ammon was trying to avoid Gpas instructions...just kidding, he was preparing himself for when Gpa started up the engine.

Ammon's first ride outside the campsite with his daddy.

Gorgeous sunset

Nightly devotional by Gpa followed by roasting marshmallows

Mike and Daxten admiring the moon and stars                  Poor little Ammon couldn't last much longer...

After everyone retired to their tents...we needed a killer game of cards (especially since the little buddy was already asleep)

GOOD MORNING!

A beautiful day for fun on the water... and 4 wheeling--Ammon was ready to go!                            

All the kids wanted the first turn on the 4 wheelers...but they had to wait for breakfast!

Camden, Daxten and Kenadie's death stare...they looked refresh and ready

Jodi especially was sporting the 'ready to go' attitude, along with little Kayhlen trying to hid from me...

Time Out Rock had gotten a lot of use...

Mike is wearing his fake Utes shirt...the real one is revealed!  Such a good color on him!

Me and Trent had a good ride with the kids out in the middle of nowhere...so much fun!

Giant trampoline, and wave runners, were a lot of fun for everyone

August 3rd was Daddy's 36th birthday!  Jarom and the kids made an "M" mud cake for him.  I tried out the oranges with cake batter...not exactly the best outcome, but still very tasty...with dutch oven peach cobbler to go with it.  Happy Birthday Daddy.

Before the sun has gone down a few more rounds of ATV riding, and...someone decided to take an early bedtime.

Another beautiful sunset to close another fun exhausting day

Mighty Midget was on the evening program...good times

Final morning!

someone was eager to start riding early

Limited time to finish up last rounds of riding ATVs and waverunners.  Games were played while adults were given time to ride together!

While tents were packed and vans loaded, the kids found use to the driest dirt in the world!  It was a fabulous few days and were glad to enjoy the family time.  Looking forward to next years adventure!
