Memorial Day Weekend...

 Over the weekend we took the kids camping at Fremont State Indian Park.  Rick's cousin and his family were able to join us for part of the time.  A grand time was had by all.  Saturday night when we were sitting around the fire, Max looked up and said look at the sparkles in the sky.  It was so cute.

Spencer's daughter Minnie loves to hike and explore.  She had a couple of these really cool pamphlets that showed different animal tracks, flowers, etc. so the kids had fun looking for things around our campsite that were in them.  On Sunday we went over to the museum, checked things out and then went on a little hike.  Minnie, Evelyn and Sam were our guides and I think they would have gone forever if we hadn't stopped them.  The little ones were getting a little pooped.  (The old ones too.)  Max walked the whole way, he was a trooper.  He wanted to do everything himself.

Spencer and Rebecca had to leave Sunday afternoon, so Rick took the kids on more 4 wheeler rides and we played games.  We taught the kids how to play Uno.  Evelyn and Sam were the champs!  We had a great time, but were ready to come home by Monday afternoon.  Max was the first one asleep on the drive home.  Even Sam feel asleep for a little while and he never falls asleep in the truck.  There is a picture of Max asleep on our bed in the slide show.  He got tired of waiting for us to leave Saturday afternoon.  I hope everyone had a great weekend too!

p.s.  There is a really LOVELY picture of Rick.  He asked me to take it and I told him if I did, it would be blogged for all to see and he said ok.

It's good that you didn't have to sleep in the back of the truck...again. :-) Looks like a pretty place to camp! Glad you had fun.
