1st Cousins Camp

One of our family's favorite traditions during the summer is to stay a few days in Bear Lake. This year, though, our tradition had to be altered. Maybe it's because of late planning, or the fact that I'm due with a baby in six weeks and feel absolutely huge and uncomfortable... Who knows? But, we managed to still spend some good cousin time together, thanks to Aunt Challey and her good ideas. We had two days of "Cousins Camp." The first day centered on Utah County and fun things there. Our first stop with the Smiths was Krispy Kreme where the kids watched the yummy production and then got to eat donuts. We then met up with Amy and her girls to tour BYU's Museum of Art. There are some really great exhibits right now. After a great pizza lunch we headed up Provo Canyon to check out Bridal Veil Falls. It was really hot outside so the water felt heavenly. Of course the kids loved walking around barefoot and splashing in the clear stream. We ended the day with dinner and t-shirt decorating at Grandma Nettie's house. We even splurged on some BYU Creamery goodness for dessert.

The second day of "Cousins Camp" included a trip to Lagoon. Thankfully, I was relieved of being a part of this and spent most of my time with my feet elevated at home in hopes of getting my swelling to lessen. Challey brought Watson with her kids and met up with Channa at the park. Scott was able to spend part of the day with Watson and did all things Lagoon.

By the end of the night all the kids were exhausted but happy for the time together. It was a great adventure for everyone.
