Deer Creek 2009

Well, Greg and the kids won. We had so much fun last weekend that they wanted to go again, this time we took the trailer up to Deer Creek Reservoir. Jim & Nat brought the boat up and we had a blast! Here's some pics. Enjoy!

This is the only picture Greg took all weekend. Funny huh? He LOVES his trailer. Whatever makes you happy honey!

This is why he camps! Relaxation!
Jim wanted to cook breakfast on the boat so out we go to the no wake zone and Nat starts cooking up the bacon. When all of a sudden a boat decides to go fast and makes a huge wake......
picture this: teetering bbq, screaming kids, bacon flying, Natalie falling. Yep, it was very dramatic. Needless to say, the fishies had bacon for breakfast and we headed back to camp and cooked the old fashion less hazardous way.
We had fun swimming in the lake. Greg and Ashton that is. I watched the boys as they threw hundreds of rocks into the lake!
Ok, so Greg really wanted to take the kids to this gorgeous waterfall by sundance. So, we packed some drinks and got Ethan's old baby carrier that we hadn't used in like 3 years. I'm really kind of embarrassed but the next picture says it all:

does something look wrong here? Hmm......Ty had the funniest face while he was like this. I kept laughing and then I realized what was wrong.

There we go. So much better. Doesn't everybody look so happy 1/4 mile into?
Ethan found this caterpillar on the way up to the waterfall. He named him Fuzzy. We later set him free to find his family.
We made it!

They did so good!


Still happy, full of energy on our way back.
Ashton said she was an amazon princess here.
Mile 3..okay, now we're pushing it. They are so dirty and Ashton is exhausted. Ethan did awesome. He found the "sword" and it kept him busy most of the walk down the mountain.
Poor Ashton said she wanted to take her legs off like her Barbies.

Ty is done as well. Poor Greg carried Ty on his back for 2 miles then held him for 1 more before he went limp and fell asleep. If you have ever tried to carry a sleeping toddler on your shoulder you would know how hard it is. He slept the whole rest of the way. 4 miles! That's what we did! And it was a blast. I am so proud of the kids, they did so good. Now Greg wants to take them to Bridal Veil Falls....maybe we should wait a while.
