The good and faithful people in Utah have been praying and fasting and praying and then praying some more for rain. So we were cautious not to complain too much about the weather that came. It poured every afternoon and every night. We did our best to keep children and supplies from getting too soggy. All the cousins didn't mind the storms at all. And, despite the inconveniences, it was a lovely change for us Phoenicians to have cool, rainy weather. For all that, the camp hosts were holding fast to the fire restrictions. So, no campfires and no charcoal. Thank goodness Grammie and Papa brought their trailer. Without their oven, we wouldn't have had much to eat!
Eden and I had some good times in the tent. She was a sport about staying out of the rain.
The kids got to play a couple rounds of Go Fish in Grammie and Papa's truck whilst waiting for some clouds to clear out.
A few fishing outings were made. There was a lot of
Cori, Grace, Ashton and Papa Ray booked it to shore just in time to get some shelter from a deluge. Grace ended up having the only snag of the trip, thus winning the fishing competition. Moments later...
Back at camp we had golf shoes, horse shoes, cousin playtime (and slumber parties) in Grammie and Papa's trailer, bike rides around camp, family meals and no cell phone reception. Perfection! Oh, and more rain.
Craft time. Grace only knows how to go for the gusto.
Rain or shine, everyone kept a great attitude and we had a fun being together. We were scheduled to be there 4 nights. On night 3, we had a particularly fierce rainstorm. All night long I kept thinking, "The rain can't get much louder. That lightning can't get much brighter." And all night long it kept getting louder and brighter. The rain continued into the morning. We decided to call it good and packed up. We got to spend the day with Arianne's family in Enoch and then spent the night in St. George at Sandy and Ray's condo in St. George.
