but this time we brought friends!! Well, actually they brought us. We got to go and hang out at the ranch Callie's family owns. It was SO fun! We had a bunch of adults, a huge mess of kids and a few dogs. 
We loved hanging out by the fire each night and eating marshmallows and junk food and singing and playing the guitar. During the days we went 4-wheeling and got really dusty-dirty and then jumped in the river to wash it all off.

The only thing that wasn't so fun was Katelin's dog, Merlin, went for a swim in the deep, fast river and didn't tell us where he was going. He got swept into an eddy (whirlpool) and almost drowned. Thankfully a river guide caught him in time. We had looked for that dog for hours when along came that river guide asking if we'd lost a dog. A few tears were shed among all of the girls in camp--especially by Kate. She loves that dog. Merlin is awfully sweet, it would've stunk to lose him!

But then it was off to having more fun tubing the river again and just hanging out with friends. We are really lucky to live where we do and to have such fun friends! Thanks, guys for having us along!

You just keep on having lots of fun, what a great way to spend together as family and friends.
I'm so happy Merlin decided to let someone know he needed some help. Love that doggy. Thanks for the fun time and the great tunes. (you Partridge family)
How fun! I am so jealous! we haven't made it out camping once this year, it's pathetic. Guess having a new baby slows us down a bit. Looks like you had a great time. Cacia
What a fun weekend! Can't wait for Youth Conference!
