For Labor Day weekend we went camping. Jared's aunt and uncle have some property in Beaver that they share with his uncle's siblings and mom. They have been improving it the last 3 summers and it's a really fun place. They have grass that the kids played on and that we put our tent on. There were four wheelers and a motorcycle. The creek runs through the property. And on Saturday Jared's grandma took everyone to Maria's for an early dinner. It was really good food and the pineapple and lemonade drinks are the best! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.
They like to "race" rubber ducks down the creek. Jared and Crue are watching to see if Crue's duck wins.
The ducks floating down the creek.
Kendra and Crue cooling off in the creek.
I tried to give the boys a nap but the tent was so dang hot, it wasn't happening. I had tried putting them down in just their diapers so when I gave up on the nap idea I just left them in just a diaper.
Nothing better than sleeping on grandma's lap when you're camping. This was Cooper's first camping trip.
Watching and cheering during the corn bag throw with Great Grandma Spendlove.
Having fun on Dylan's truck. Dylan also had his
Tonka dump truck and we had brought Crue's dump truck and
tractor. Good thing because all the kids loved them!
Jared took his cousin's Yamaha 450 out for a ride. It's similar to the Kawasaki he worked on for trade work. The 450's have good power and after riding a couple of them he's starting to be more confidant on dirt bikes. We may end up getting one in the future. :)
After Jared's grandma took us to dinner on Saturday we went to try and feed some deer. Crue fell asleep on the way. This picture makes me laugh because he loves to wear his sunglasses. They are now in the car with our sunglasses and I give them to him every time we go somewhere. He'll push them up on his head like we do sometimes too (which is how they were until he fell asleep and then they fell down his face a little). It's hilarious. Thank you Loni for the glasses!
If you had seen what happened in this picture you would die laughing every time you saw it (I sure do!). Crue has been scared of animals lately. He's ok around my parent's dog (it's not a big dog) but other dogs and animals scare him. We had gone into town to get a new glass for our lantern after dinner so we just went straight to where we'd see deer. Everyone else went back to go from lots of vehicles to only a few. While we were waiting for them we saw some deer. Jared took Crue to see them and he started
freaking out. He tried climbing, yes climbing, up Jared so he'd hold him because Jared wasn't picking him up. Jared had to literally pry Crue off of him as they were walking back to the truck. When I took this picture Jared had thrown his head back because he was laughing so hard and Crue is screaming and crying.
Jared's Grandma Spendlove feeding the deer. We had gone too early so most of the deer didn't come to eat. A few of the kids and grandma got to feed the deer. Some of us went again later when it was their usual eating time.
This time the deer were wanting to eat. Crue actually let me get close to the deer while I was holding him. He did really good. You have to be quiet and you have to approach them from the front so they don't think they're getting attacked. And you can't touch their antlers or any other part of them or you might get attacked.
Jared took a few pictures of me and Crue and then he fed the deer too. These are wild deer - not on a deer farm or anything like I used to go to in Arizona.
The one above and below are of Crue feeding the deer. I put his hand on top of mine and used my thumb to hold his fingers out so he wouldn't pull away and scare the deer. He actually fed a couple of deer and loved it. If you ask him about feeding the deer now he'll hold his hand out and show you. It's pretty cute.
It was a really fun weekend. It sounds like they're going to do it again next year. I'm excited. It was really fun hanging out with everyone and talking to Jared's relatives since they all live in St. George and we don't get to see them much.
