Congregation Campout

One of the highlights of our summer was our ward (congregation) campout at Zarahemla Campground. The setting was beautiful, the food (which was taken care of by the ward (aka "the RS Activity Chair/Bishops Wife/ Rockstar - both dinner and breakfast) was delicious.  There were games for the littles, stories, a movie, a rope swing over a stream, and fabulous friends in the congregation to hang out with and get to know better. All in all, it was a smashing success. Hope we do it next year.

I love campfire, and the smell of smoke.

Part of the dinner crowd: pull pork sandwiches, cole slaw, dutch oven bacon potatoes, 

watermelon, and cookies.

All of our older kids didn't need constant supervision, but Norman can't be trusted in campout situations just yet. Ryan found a grassy field and was playing with him. Looks like chasing turned into tickle tackle.

This was our camping spot. 

We even brought our dog, which is always fun... Calvin was checking on her water and giving her a little campout scratch behind the ears... I wish I had taken more photos to document the fun, but I was enjoying myself too much too much to capture the moments.
