We went camping in Coalville on the Faye and Donna Dearden property off of Chalk Creek Road. We spent a delightful time with: Capp's, Hansen's, Roe's, Smith's and Wiseman's. In this group there were twelve adults and nineteen kids!We set up camp on Friday afternoon and then wandered around, the kids threw rocks in the river and Steve Smith and Matthew Roe caught a fish. For dinner we made Dutch oven chicken, potatoes, beans, salad and two types of cobbler-yeah we know how to eat good! We also had S'mores, that is a requirement of camping.
An exciting way to pass the time was for the former cheerleaders of the group to re-live their glory days. Jamie and Shae were pretty impressive as they held Tauna high above their heads! Of course, then the kids wanted to have a turn!
Our family all slept in a tent. We zipped the sleeping bags together so that Taylor and I and Carter and Serena were all snugly together. Aleeya was in the pack-n-play. The only thing I would do differently is put her next to me, I kept getting up and going across everyone to make sure she wasn't cold. She had on plenty of clothes and a hat and stayed warm the whole night.
Saturday was more running around for the kids and breakfast burritos for our fabulous meal.
The weather was perfect the whole time! A slight wind on Friday to keep it cool and the bugs away, no rain and not too cold. We plan to make this an annual event
This was SO much fun!! Yes...every year for sure! Did you have the rest of the pictures of the other kids playing "cheerleader"?
