Wind, Dust, and more Wind!!!

We've just returned from the annual Labor Day camping trip with the Holst family. (Except for Dennis and Cindy, and we missed them!!) We decided to try a new camping spot this year up by Birch Creek. Mike and I turned off the highway about 7:30 Friday night and we thought we knew where we were going since we camped in the area about a month ago. Well we drove for about half an hour and couldn't see any sign of his parents fifth wheel. Neither of us had cell phone service to call anyone. Finally, we had service and Mike called his dad. Turns out, we were like 15 miles past where they were camped!! So we turned around and drove the half an hour back to where they were! It was quite the adventure!

As you can see there were not too many trees around us, but there was plenty of sagebrush! So that pretty much meant no flip flops or capris for the weekend! After we got camp all set up on Friday night, it was time for bed. On Saturday, the guys got ready to go on a serious ride. (which is much too difficult for us girls)


While they were gone, us girls had a nice chance to relax and the little boys (there were no little girls there) had fun playing in the dirt!

And when the big boys got back from their ride, they looked like they had also been playing in the dirt.....or eating it......?

Anyways, after we had all eaten lunch, it was time for everyone to have a little fun together...so we loaded into two rhinos, a prowler, and a four wheeler. We headed up to Skull Canyon to check out some old mines. On the way back we drove up to a big cave. On Sunday, we all went to check out the charcoal kilns. Most of the adults had been there before, but all the little boys really enjoyed learning how they used to make charcoal. Here are some of the pictures I took.

This weekend our awning finally kicked the bucket, thanks to the wind. We were inside eating lunch when we heard a loud snap and walked outside to this......


Other than the lack of awning on our trailer now, we had tons of fun this weekend. Can't wait for next year!!!
