This was one of my most favorite camping trips of all times,...we camped up on the dry farms just above where I grew up...just a mile or so from Green Canyon... the kids had a blast as there were cousins and about 20 other kids to play with.
Top 10 List:
1) four wheeler ride to packsaddle lake...have so many fun memmories there
2) seeing Isaac tarzan off the rope swing into the lake
3) seeing Ella and Olivia follow the older girls around and try and be like them(chasing and teasing the boys, yikes!)
4) helping Isaac learn to ride the motorbike, the proud look on Ryan's face and excitement of looking forward to when Isaac will be able to go ride in the mountains with him
5) roasting starbursts and smores over the campfire
6) being with my sister
7) riding four wheeler back to farm, hitting all the huge hills that feel like rollercoasters... gettting sprayed and soaked by the end guns... remembering all the fun my brother Brian and I had roaming every inch of the farm...it was amazing to share this with Ryan and my kids
8) playing games with nephews, Straton & Keegan (they didn't even fight, in fact I think they were actually nice to each other!)
9) swimming at green canyon...Ella running out to the end of the diving board with her arms over her head ready to dive then at the last minute just jumping...Isaac doing awesome flips and attempting a few dives...Keegan doing a gainner?(I think thats what it's called when you do a flip inward towards the diving board) and then his younger brother Hayden saying well I can do that watch and he does it like a pro...Isaac and Ella doing the poller bear and trying to coax Ryan and I to as well...unrelentlessly
10) dutch oven 7-up chicken and scones with marshmellow cream mixed into the honey butter
Isaac learning to ride his cousins 50,
this was the perfect place...it was nice soft dirt and lots of room!
Ryan, ran beside Isaac and ran, and ran some more!!!
Still running!!!
Isaac got pretty brave after an hour or so he had this little bike reved up as high as it could go in first gear, circling all over the field!
Ryan's a little tired, and understandably so!!!
I'd say that is a proud dad if I ever saw one!
This is the rope swing at Pack-saddle Lake! I was amazed Isaac wanted to try it... he only hesitated for a moment and then went for it!!!
Looks fun hey? That water is freezing though!
That's Ella 2nd one in on the Left. I think I almost had as much fun as she had! She was ecstatic, so that's hard to match!!! It was so fun to do her make-up, get her pictures taken (wholly strike a pose the photographer couldn't get her of the mat!!) She was beaming the whole two days, (the day before the recital was dress rehearsal!) It was wonderful to see her feel so good about herself, you could just tell how proud she was!
She loved getting her make-up done , the hair done not so much though! 
Waiting in the wings to go on stage!!! They are Snow White!
