Camp Ouren

It was finally time to kick off the camping season this year with our annual trip with friends to Granite Flats. After Mike got off work on Friday we hooked on and off we went. We arrived and set up camp and then it was time for what the twins had been talking about all week, roasting hot dogs for dinner.

After dinner, we roasted marshmellows and played a game of Apples to Apples with our friends then enjoyed the campfire for a while longer.

Saturday, we talked off and on about going to the reservoir or a drive somewhere but it ended up that we just stayed in camp. Our site was totally shaded and was so nice. We seriously just hung out all day and visited with our friends and let the kids play and play. This picture is Faith's new buddy Scott. She thought he was pretty ok to hang out with.

His wife, Holly, was dying to get her hands on Faiths one long tuft of hair.

And put in these adorable pig-tails.

The kids played games of their own.

And in the pirate tent.

Mike took a nap.

We climbed rocks and played in the trees.

Sunday, we packed up camp pretty smoothly and headed home to start the massive chore list back in reality. It was a really good trip. Mike was even quoted as saying, "As far as camping goes, I would give this trip a solid A-." For those of you that don't know, that's a HUGE deal !
