Kaibab Camp and Buck's Viewpoint

After many weekends of doing things to get Bean settled in and tending kids we were ready to get out of the house.  We haven't camped on our own much at all this summer and it was time.  We were feeling a little too tired to go to all of the work of packing up the food, so we took a little stash Paul had and treated ourselves to dinner, cookies and breakfast at Jacob Lake to simplify things. The food was so good as always!   It was perfect weather - I only needed my warm shirt - and a full moon and hardly anyone out in the forest was so nice. We awakened to coyotes singing in the early morning.  After breakfast we drove down the hill to the Vermilion Cliffs and drove out to the west looking for a place where we could see into the Grand Canyon and see the Colorado River.  We found a couple of spots that were pretty cool!  Then it was time to head back home.  It was just what we needed!  

Weaver tending and Lou #43

Juge and Lance took a trip to Europe and had a schedule of tenders lined up for their kiddos.  We were part of that schedule one week end.  Having water wars erupt in the middle of it complicated things a bit, but we all had a good time while Paul slaved over them.  (Sad for him.)  Eden had a track meet in Cedar on Saturday morning, so I took her and Noah up for that and it was fun to see little Eden out there working hard.  We met up with Tavin and Kennis too and that was fun.  Pretty proud of all these kids doing hard things.  

We had fun watching the two Apple Dumpling Gang videos in the evenings...they are such funny old movies.  We also visited the Town Square and played in the water...more fun. 

It wasn't fun when we took them home and remembered at about New Harmony that we left our car keys at home and had to turn around and go get them...dumb!  

After we dropped the kids back home for Brynnli to tend, we stopped over at the Randall's and celebrated with Lou for her #43!  Bryan made really yummy pumpkin cookie treats which we were glad to share with them!
