Back from the great cabin adventure!

We are back and recuperated from our great family cabin adventure! This past weekend we were all able to get together at the Gunnells cabin (Thank you Gunnells) and have some family time before Brandon leaves. We had lots of yummy food, went crawdad hunting, had a picnic, played frisbee golf, did a little quad riding, watched movies, played games, played Phase 10 til 2 in the morning... (yep... I actually stayed up that late, but I don't think I knew exactly what I was doing after midnight), had a really good FHE on Sunday which included the Silly Family Body Parts game, to see how good we can recognize each other and the rest was missionary themed, of course, Krislin did a great talk and game about Brandon, we talked some more and watched a video and concluded with one of Brandons favorite meals... a baked potato bar! AND before we left the birthday buddys (me and Braxon) celebrated with cake and ice cream and presents! The only bad part was the weekend went by too fast and we had to come home. It is always a fun and funny time with the fam! Check out the slideshow!

Ward campout

Friday and Saturday me Mike and Brandon went to the ward campout. We went to a new place called Mabbs Ranch. We were the first ones there ... so we thought... is anyone else coming?!? But about an hour later later lots of people started coming and we had 26 families... which is a LOT of prople! It turned out to be a really fun camp. Brandon got the assignment to be the camp guide to help people find camping spots. Of course he didn't mind at all... he got to ride Brother Mabbs quad. Our ward has a tradition of having The Amazing Race on Saturday morning. It is a great well thought out and well planned game and is quite involved. It's family against family and is timed. Mike and I did stations, (we did the race last year and almost didn't survive... The two of us and 4 teenagers... Trent carried me on his back the last stretch... so Mike and I decided we would retire this year especially since the course was bigger and higher!) and so we adopted Brandon out to the Lee family. They ended up getting 3rd place! Great trip... As always... there was good food and a good time for all!
