Memories from Memorial Day

I know I am so slow at posting these pics but with the two days in the car getting home, the sleep deprivation, the endless loads of laundry (yes I am still not done), and the pressing need to plant my garden, I am just finally surfacing from the weekend. Crazy! But it was so fun to be in Idaho again and to be with family. It renewed our desire to move closer to family someday. Here are a few moments from our campout.

This picture was actually taken at BYU-Idaho. We stopped there to stay with Grandma Nancy and Papa Tom before going up to Lick Creek.

Eliza loved being there (big surprise...she loves anything new).
The family loved camping. Hanging out, sitting in their camp chairs, and playing with dirt and cousins...you can't get much better than that.
Liesel's favorite thing was this wagon. She would have a fit anytime someone else was in it. Eliza's favorites about camping are too long to list. But I did get a picture of her when she finally got brave enough to hold this puppy. Liesel spent the whole weekend screaming anytime she even saw a puppy.
The talent show and dance afterward were a lot of fun.
Liesel found this cooler full of water and a little cup and pale the last day and she played with that all morning. It was so interesting to see the 2 year olds play on their own and the older cousins playing together.
Here is Eliza with her cousin Becca. She has been missing her cousins.
Here is a great shot Emily got with my camera. Thanks Em.
Here we are at the end of the weekend. Eliza was devastated that it was over and that she had to leave Grandma and all the dirt.
Overall it was a fabulous adventure. Thank you family for being so good to us. We can't wait to see you in July!
