a little cook out

Monday night for FHE, we went up to Willow Flat to have a little cook out. After we ate a delicious tin foil dinner, we went Hiking up to the spring.

***After about 2 minutes into the hike, we had a hard time keeping Trevor from stopping every few steps to find a good skipping rock (thanks Brandon). We had Trevor ride on Garricks shoulders for the remainder of the hike
*** Kaitlyn and Hannah thought the hike was way too far for her legs. I gave Hannah a piggy back ride for a good part of the way. Courtney kept pushing Kaitlyn, even though she didn't like his gentle motivation. The most frightening part for everyone was crossing the oh-so-scary bridge. Kaitlyn had to close her eyes to get accross and Hannah tried not to look down at the raging water.

When we arrived back to the campsite, Grandma Hall and Grandma Richards told stories of our ancestors.
A cook out wouldn't be complete without Smores! Mom even made apple cobbler, but the kids sure loved roasting the marshmellos.




(notice Mom's perfect marshmellos. She always makes really good ones)

That sounds so fun! I wish we could have been there! I'm sure Brandon will be happy to hear the kids are still looking for good skipping rocks. . .
