For five years running, my family has spent Memorial Day weekend up in Heber camping and spending quality time together. This year was EXTREMELY cold, but we had a blast as usual. My sister-in-law Alison was in charge of planning it this year, and she did such a great job. The kids made friendship bracelets, necklace pendants, and fossils. My brother also brought a projector up and the kids got to watch a movie on the big screen in the mountains! The adults played Balderdash (I WON! which doesn't happen much anymore), made food and had a great time catching up with each other. I stayed up until 2:ooam talking to my sister; it was like a sleepover. :)

Adelyn and Dayah were snow sisters.

The kids played in the snow A LOT since our campsite was almost completely covered in snow. They went on snow adventures, built a fort and dug out our fire pit.

Adelyn was one of the first ones in our group to try the big swing at the challenge course. Some of her younger cousins only went half-way up. When she and Dayah saw them, they looked at each other and said at the same time, "We're going to the TOP!!" It was hilarious. Addie is definitely brave.

I went after Adelyn. I am an adrenaline junky and it even gave me butterflies.

My niece Sharli.

The best picture EVER!! I love my dad's face in it. He is quite adventurous.

And incidentally, so is my grandpa. 95-years old and still swinging from trees.

Elanor was one of the youngest to try the big swing. She is my niece Cami's oldest child (yes, I am a great-aunt). Look at those precious eyes.

The horse power behind the swing. This line of people pulled everyone up so fast, we nearly got whiplash.

My parents: where it all began. After 10 kids, 39 grandchildren and 4 great-grandchildren, they are still young and happy.

Our little family, minus Preston.

Hey there, handsome.

The snow didn't slow this little one down at all. She refused to keep her coat or gloves on. I would often catch her kissing her little cold fingers so they'd feel better.

My brother Doug and his cute boys, Ethan and Porter.

Preston played in this HUGE sandbox while everyone went out on the lake. He's more of a land animal, and he LOVES trucks.

These little monkeys were nearly inseparable at the campout. They had so much fun together playing, doing crafts and going on adventures. Adelyn loves her cousin Dayah.
