Smith Morehouse

The beginning of Aug, we went on our annual campout with Jon and Tammie's family.  It was one of the best ever.  We went just above a reservoir called Smith Morehouse, I believe in Weber Canyon.  I found out later that Amy Jo's parents cabin is up that same canyon.  It's so beautiful.  The girls spend hours playing in the water and climbing on the logs.  We often went on obstacle courses with them.



The boys spent a lot of time chopping wood and shooting bb guns, which apparently I didn't get pictures of.  Con also made a bracelet and of course, they were always eating.


All of the kids spent hours snake hunting, catching and holding.  They really loved this, I certainly don't know why and Jadyn only got bit once.  Luckily they were just garter snakes.  Half of the campground was closed and the snakes were all over in there,  They would even name them, but did let them all go after holding them for a long time.




We all had a super fun marshmellow gun fight.  We only had four guns, so we teamed up to go 2 on 2 and did it tournament style.  Whoever wasn't playing was a judge. It was pretty intense.





Last, the adults spend a lot of time doing whatever the kids were doing and also playing games.  It was a fabulous trip.

It looks lovely there!
I could totally get into the marshmallow wars, but the snakes...not so much. It is super cool that both Kate and Kenna are not freaked out by them though.

It seems you have some really good family friends.

Fun for adults and kids.
