Climb aboard the "Chancho Yoda"

We had a fun Fourth of July week. We took the kids camping to Palisade State Park- it's down by Manti. It turned out to be such a fun time. We camped right on the edge of a tiny little reservoir- there was a swim beach and the water was warm. We purchased a new raft and steered Taylor in the right direction of giving it a proper name- "Chancho Yoda"- the name of the puppy he somehow thinks (and couldn't be more wrong) we will be acquiring in the near future. Everything was smooth sailing, though I wasn't too thrilled over the skunk sneaking through our garbage in the middle of the night- it wouldn't have been so bad if our tent zipper wasn't broken- I was sure I was going to be sharing a bed with a skunk. My parents and Alan and Kristina came along. It made for a good time! We highly recommend this place for a fun family campout.

Dave, Alan, Kristina, Taylor and Sara went on a hike on the mountain behind our camp and took this picture of the lake

Our little diva didn't miss a beat making sure she came camping with her Disney princess flashlight in tow- and check out her "camping hair".


Taylor likes to be and do everything just like dad- hiking included. He made it to the top of the mountain( okay, really a hill) like a champ! He got a new headlamp for the trip which was plastered to his head as soon as it appeared the sun might be setting- he especially liked that it was a normal flashlight and had a red light too.


Livvy basically smashed food everywhere making our camp an ant haven- if she wasn't smashing food, she was eating dirt and loving every second of it.
