Labor Day Fun!

We got the opportunity to get the heck out of town this weekend and it was so nice! We camped up at Forest Lakes with Russell's brother Derek and his family and about 6 other families from their ward. The kids had tons of fun riding quads and just getting dirty. We had one HUGE thunder and rain storm on Friday night and it made the whole trip worth leaving town for. One of the reasons I love Arizona is that you can drive an hour and a half north and be in 20 degrees cooler weather and beautiful scenery.

Maggie and her cousin Kash were jammin out to some Tim McGraw



Lucas LOVED riding on the quad with either Russell or me...

doesn't he look enthusiastic?

My nephew Krew had a blast riding through the huge mud puddles that the rain left

good ol' game of horseshoes kept us all entertained

nice form Russell....

a serious debate whether this counted as a point or not
That was some gooood chili Maggie is chowin down on
yet she is still very into her show
she doesn't let Lucas get in her way of the movie


We had a pretty cool campsite



YIKES! Russell had a lot of fun getting dirty, nice white teeth


Maggie and I took a nice little nature walk to find some wildflowers....and to have a photo op.

I am so jealous. That looks like so much fun. We for sure need to do a dunes trip. I don't know if we'll be there opening weekend but if we are we'll need find each other or maybe camp close. What side do you usually camp on?

Can I just say that one pic of Russell is freaky? He looks like he has fake teeth and eyes!!! Tyler thought you might of photoshopped his whole face! YIKES! Looks like a blast though! And from what I can tell Lucas kept his diaper on!
