MEMORIAL WEEKEND

We had such a great time camping this past weekend in Green River, UT at Swayze's Beach. We camped right by the River. It was really fun. There was lots of sand for the kids to play in. It rained a little but we still had a great time. Camping with the Nelson's is always a lot of fun. Amy and I went down Thursday to get a spot with some of our kids, Grandpa Robert and Brett's son Alex. Mike and Steve came down Friday with the Junior High/High School kids. We will definately have to go back and explore the area more. What a great place to camp. We did a little hiking. The kids love to climb on rocks and explore.Me, Sadie, Jake, Adam, Alex, James, Will, Grandpa Robert
Playing cards in the tent waiting for the rain to stop.
We cooked our yummy (eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, juice, hot chocolate) breakfast in the rain :)

The kids had fun swimming in the river.
It is so much fun digging in the sand.
They spent hours digging.
Cute Sadie
This hole took them a while to dig.

We went to Goblin Valley. I have never been there when it has been so muddy. It was quite funny to see how much mud got caked on our shoes and how slippery it was.

We never get sick of exploring around in Goblin Valley. YAHOO! The pool is open for the summer. We had our annual pool party and picnic with the Dean's on Memorial Day. We are so lucky to have access to such a great pool. Thanks Judy and Roger for always letting us come and swim.
