heber valley camp

We had a fun campout with some of the Vawdreys a week or so ago up at the Heber Valley Camp. It is used as a girls camp during the week and then families can use it on the weekends. Al & Heidi cooked ups some delicious BBQ ribs, potatoes, and apple crisp in these dutch ovens. There were lots of little critters all around the camp.
What's a campfire without some guitar music?
Jacob, Katey, Rachel, and Matthew had fun "helping" bring some wood down to the fire. Mark pushed the wheelbarrow and Grandma went along to make sure no one fell out.
That's my Matthew!
We did one of the challenge courses and one of the activites involved swinging from one rope to another to cross a "sea of alligators". Matthew enjoyed the swinging.
This particular course has an awesome high swing activity! You get all strapped in and then a long rope is pulled to hoist you to the top of a tree. You let go and swing like a birdie! This is Ryan.
Matthew could hardly contain his excitement for the swing. He had been looking forward to this for days! Here he is getting harnessed up.
Swing, my boy! He LOVED it!
Love this picture of Mark enjoying the ride!
Everybody loved the swing -- even G & G!! We also had a great time rowing around on the lake, eating, playing in the fire, making s'mores, staying up way too late, talking and hanging out!
