Cousin Campout and Hike

This past weekend we crossed another thing off our summer fun list. 
We had a cousin campout in Joe and Melanie's yard.
I know the kids loved sleeping out in the tents with each other. 
Henry and Isaac in the boy tent

Grace, Maren, Julianne, Anna and Eve in the girl tent.



In the morning we all headed to hike Battlecreek Falls.

Hike to the G

Look at us!
Two hikes in less than a week!
(we will never quite be up to the hiking awesomeness of our friends, the Walls,
but at least we hiked!)

Yesterday we hiked up to the G
This was a bigger, longer hike so we didn't bring Sasha
She isn't quite as agile as she used to be.
She even struggled a few times when we hiked Battle Creek Falls on Friday.

It was another beautiful day and I think during our hike we only saw about 3 other people.
We loved having the mountain to ourselves.

The kids looking out as we begin the hike.
 As you can tell, I was bringing up the rear...
I am sad to say that I'm a bit out of shape!

Sometimes the kids would double back and walk with me.
Or wait for me to catch up to them so that they could show me a giant spider just off the trail!

Yikes!
Anyway...I think Mike hiked the mountain 5 times with all the back and forth he did ;)

 Finally at the G
 Mike took this nice panorama of our view
 He hiked down a bit and then took a picture of the kids and I on the G
See the tiny spots on the bottom left of the G...yep, that's us!


 I love the fall colors against the deep blue sky!
 Mike and Anna coming down the mountain
 Thought this was a pretty view
It was a fun hike, so glad that we did it.
It's one of those things that you need to do if you are in PG.

Hike to Battle Creek Falls

We took advantage of the beautiful weather and did a hike this morning.
We hiked up to Battle Creek Falls.
We didn't see many other people on the trail, it was nice and quiet and good family fun!

Homecoming

Yesterday was the PG High Homecoming dance.
Out here they do day dates before the evening dances. 
Noah and his date Courtney went on a hike during the day, they went with some other friends.



I think Noah had a good time...I'm still trying to get used to him dating :)

Timpanogos Cave and Bush Family Reunion

On Saturday morning 21 of us made the hike up to Timpanogos Cave. We had beautiful weather and I was very proud of all the kids for making it up there and back with minimal complaining.

After we finished up at the cave, there was just enough time to freshen up and head off to the Bush Family Reunion. It was nice to see relatives we hadn't seen for a while. I even won a blanket made by my Dad's sister Nona. The favorite part of the reunion for the kids was the candy/money dig. I remember that always being my favorite part too.
