For Labor Day weekend, we drove down over to Torrey, UT (near Capital Reef National Park) to camp with the Butterfield fam (minus Troy and Whitney). It is a beautiful area. We had a lot of fun, and it was so much fun to see all the boy cousins getting to know each other. Corbin hasn't stopped talking about "my cousins" since we got home last week. We went swimming and played wiffle ball and frisbee. The kiddos were loving the playground at the campground. They especially loved the see-saw. We also went to see petroglyphs.
Lindsay spotted me on a back handspring, and I was scared I would kill my wimpy self. I haven't done a back handspring in about 7 years (and that thought makes me feel REALLY old). But I survived. And I actually did better than I thought I would. Didn't even land on my head. Go me!
Corbin and Rex
The nights and mornings were blustery and cold. But as soon as the sun came up the wind would stop and it would get nice and warm.
Tom licking Eli's wide open mouth. Definitely the funniest moment of the weekend.
The group. We had this view from the campground. Pretty, isn't it?
The cousins. Poor Avery was completely tuckered out.
Playing at Trickle Falls. I think the boys could have stayed here all day. Jay dug for buried treasure. Rex pretended that some bowls were boats. Corbin played with his trucks. And Eli was content to just wander around.
Corbin has been getting so much braver in the water. He doesn't freak out when his face gets wet. And this was the first time that he swimming with out his goggles. Totally awesome.
