Family camp 2010

July 15, 2010

I am camping with my family on Boulder Mountain. We have all come here from our respective places; Mom, Dad, Josie and Lizzy from Phoenix. Abu from Austin. He flew on a plane to Phoenix and then drove with Josie. Alice, Aaron, Ethan and Landon came from Ogden and I came from Orem. Even Nick is here. He came to Phoenix with his mom to visit Grandpa and  Grandma Nelson. After being there a couple of days he decided to camp with us.

I got here at 4pm. When I got out of the truck Ethan immediately asked me "Rada, where is your friend John? I answered that he was at school and that maybe we would see him later. Then Ethan, Dad and I went down to a bridge by our camp site. Ethan threw pine cones which he calls "acorns" into the river and watched teem float down.

Mom and Dad made dinner in the dutch oven. We had most of the supplies and Josie, who hadn't arrived yet was bringing the rest. Just as dinner was ready, she got to camp. What great timing! After dinner we sat around the fire. Alice and Aaron taught us how to make the perfect smore (yum!) Mom had not only brought regular Hershey's chocolate bars, but Special Dark as well. Dark chocolate is my favorite.

After that everyone decided to go to bed. Lizzy and I are sharing a tent by a stream. Our tents are spaced a good distance from one another. Hopefully it will block out any snoring. =)
