Later that night, we all roasted marshmallows, struggled in getting the kids all to sleep, and then enjoyed an hour or so of some good adult conversation together by the fire. In this picture is Nathan, Aubrey, Saxon (their son, almost 3) and Emily. These four kiddos had a blast playing together. They were running all over the place, laughing and exploring everywhere. It was a good time for them.
Saturday morning, we all broke camp, and headed up the road a few miles to Slide Rock. It is a river that flows through some slick rock. In the summer is is packed with people, riding down the rocks; a fun natural water park. We did not get in the water (for heavens sakes, its October, overcast, and rainy!) There actually was one crazy guy that played polar bear, and jumped in. He was nuts! Brrrrrr. The kids had fun running and playing on the rocks. It was a good time, and I had never been to Slide Rock, but had heard about it quite a bit as a young girl. I think we will be going back next summer for camping and playing in the water.
We got home just in time for David to get to Priesthood Session. He went to the church, I stayed home and bathed all five little darlings. Talk about dirty!!!!!! I had to refill the tub after each child. Yuck. We missed the Saturday sessions, but I have already watched the Sat AM session on the Internet, and will promptly be watching the afternoon session. Good messages..... and I will blog more on that later. It was a very fun weekend and we had a good time getting to know the Stradlings better. Now I am living in LOADS of laundry that smell just like a bonfire. Yum. I have it all sorted and will be heading up to my friends house later today. I am looking forward to that.
