We went camping at Memorial Park with the Taylors over the 24th and had a really relaxing time! I'm glad that we have our trailer so that we can get away every now and then. I like staying close by so that the kids can come and go too. It really was relaxing and I even saw Larry catch a few Zzzz's while we were gone. (seldom happens...so it's nice to see him relax) I enjoy camping the way we do...even better when we have power...Larry did get a few generators for this trip but they weren't big enough to run the air conditioner. I'm glad the nights were cool!
I loved the camp ground. We were just west of Causey Dam and so the kayaks were fun too. The river was right by us so we could listen to it all day and night. The mountain and trees were beautiful. One day I saw two bucks and got so close to them. It was so cool and made my day. I walked over to were I saw them and then stopped because they started walking towards me without knowing it at first. When they noticed they stopped and we had a little staring contest. I tried not to breath because I didn't want to spook them. I think someone came up behind me to use the out door potties and the deer moved on. We only had the little road separating us which was so cool. I didn't have my camera and so I googled some deer. The ones I googled were so close to the ones I saw except one of the one's I saw was a little bigger...his body.
We sat around and talked a lot. I especially liked sitting in the "Lazy River" and "Chillin". On Thursday the 24th the river was so cold but the other days didn't seem as bad. It was relaxing. I think I even got a little color on my legs which is what I was hoping for.
It's so much fun hanging out with Kim and her family. Kim and I grew up together and were in the same ward. We were good friends and she was even in my wedding line. I have always loved Kim and Kevin and their family. We ran into them a year ago in the store when we were each preparing for camping and they invited us to join them. Kim and Kevin reserve big areas to camp at the beginning of the year and invite everyone to join them. It's great and so nice to have somewhere to go! Our kids all get along great too and so it's really fun.
We were thinking about selling our trailer since we have enjoyed so many medical bills this year but so far we still have it....we are scraping by. I hope we will be able to keep it for a few more years. I really do enjoy the fun we have when we use it. We play games together and are able to enjoy each other because there aren't the distractions of life for those few days.
Good Times with Good Friends and a Great Family!
