Camp Linn

The Valley was going to reach record highs this weekend (around 100*) and thankfully we already had plans with Dans siblings to go camping! It did actually get up to 101* yesterday here in Gilbert, but we didn't care. It was 81* where we were! We really did have so much fun roughing it with those we love the most! The kids all had a blast and were absolutely filthy! Camp

Boy Cousins - Garrett, Spencer, Joel, Ethan

The boys were great at keeping themselves busy. Here they are playing dodge ball with pine cones! Pretty creative.

Dans sister Nicole wins Auntie of the Year! She is so amazing. I don't know if she actually loves to play with the kids, or if she just knows that mom & dad need a break sometimes, but she is so wonderful to know exactly when to ease some stress! Not to mention Olivia LOVES her! she calls her Cocos.
Girl Cousins Daniella, Ryleigh, Ashley, Jayda

Ashley & Ryleigh spent most of the day on Saturday building a pretty cool little clubhouse out of sticks and pine needles. I was impressed with their dedication!

We kept busy with games (badminton) - it is amazing how slow time goes by with no TV, phones, computers, showers, washer & dryers, mops....
Dan & Adam playing a friendly game of horseshoes.
The kids liked this game - Chuck-o - It kept many people occupied for many hours!
uuuummm LOOK! An orange tree - see the tress do change a little in Arizona.

Considering a camping trip to the woods--and away from bath tubs--I would say everyone looks incredibly undirty. It looks like you had great fun and I won't be showing Ammon this post because he will be very irritated we didn't get to go too because of his baseball games! I am so glad you all love being together and have become such good "friends" to each other!
