From July 28th to August 2nd we had a Featherbury/ Bradstone Family River Trip/ Bountiful Second Ward Youth Camp. It was a bunch of stuff all rolled into one week and one campsite. We had SO much fun!
Saturday: My parents drove to Idaho .
Saturday afternoon, all night and most of the day Sunday: We drove.
Sunday: Dallas, Jessica, Camden, Bailey, Jerome and Courtney drove up.
Everybody but Laramie. Poor guy couldn't get off work. I was really looking forward to seeing him! It was fun seeing everybody else though. We hadn't seen each other since we moved.
Monday: Joe Featherbury, our adopted brother whose name is really Joe Featherstone, took us grown up kids on the river. My parents stayed back with the kids. Then we did some leisurely boating.
Tuesday: Joe, Mom, Dad, Jerome, Courtney, Bret and I ran the river again while Dallas and Jessica stayed with all the kids.
Wednesday: Joe took Dallas and Jessica and some adults from the ward on the river. My dad, Bret, Haylee and I went golfing while my mom, Jerome and Courtney watched the kids.
Thursday: The Bradbury family spent the day in McCall. Then some real boating and tubing.
Friday: We all packed up and drove home.
Here is the beautiful campsite we had for the week. It was HUGE. It sat right on the edge of Cascade Lake which is the warmest lake I've ever been in!
Of course my dad brought the ring toss game thingy. This game has always been around, every family camping trip for as long as I can remember. I don't have pictures but Bret and I were the campions (get it- champions CAMPions haha). Yes, we beat Jerome and Courtney AND my parents! Too bad we didn't get to play against Dallas and Jessica. Next time!
Maycie was so happy to see my mom. She talked about Grandma Julie the entire drive down. She wanted to follow Grandma everywhere!
Here is the kitchen area.
And the camping pros, my dad and Mike.
I love this picture! Haylee and Camden were SOOOO excited to go camping with Josh. They kept asking when he would get there. It was hard keeping them away from him. He was there with the Young Men and had activities and classes to do with them but all four of these kids just wanted to play. We don't think of the Nobles as friends, they are family! We all do so much together that the kids don't understand why sometimes Josh isn't at my parents house when we have family dinner.
I love that Maycie would play this game all by herself. She would say "I won!" every time she got the ring in the hole. Oh lets not forget to talk about Jerome's Red Sox flag he hung on his tent. He's probably the only person I know who is prepared enough to bring a sports flag on a camping trip just to make a certain ward member angry. He put some serious thought into that. Right Romers? It wasn't just stashed away in your sleeping bag?
One day we made banana splits. The girls made their own!
We got shirts! That's how you know its a real party! Boys got blue, girls got pink.
Bailey stuck those feathers in her hair, I think its quite cute. She also makes this grumpy face if you ask her to, I love it! It was kind of sad, she didn't know me and it took her a whole week to warm up to me!
Enjoy!
