Mountains

After Fall Break, as with any family vacation, there is a mountain of laundry to do. 

When this family goes camping, blankets and towels and clothes all need washed.

At the time is annoying only because I'm usually stuck with the task. But if I don't, it might take weeks to get done (seriously, ask my oldest how long it takes her). 

I know what you're thinking: wimp! That's not much laundry. Alas! You can't see all the towels on the table and all the blankets on the couch and still washing/drying.

I'm happy to say everything was finished and put away by bedtime. Of the same day.

We went to the mountains in Marysvale and rode ATVs all over those durn mountains. 

But when I see this:

This was fun:

And I remember this (which was the best part of the whole trip IMHO. Total family alone time):

I'm don't mind doing all these:

Fall Break 2013 ~ Adventures

We went to church Sunday in Marysvale. Loved the ward. Greg Chappell's brother was in the bishopric. His wife, the YW president, took Megan to her classes. Garth and I stayed for Priesthood & RS. The other kids went to the trailer and ate lunch.
Grandpa Warburton is a friend with a rock hound, who happens to be from Delta (go figure!). They invited us to go explore some indian ruins and look at his rock shop.
This was probably my favorite day of the weekend.
We got back about 7:30 pm, made a fire and made dutch oven potatoes. We finally ate about 9 pm. We had the whole camp to ourselves. We played games and laughed and really enjoyed our quiet time. This was probably my favorite day this weekend. Just me and my family, spending time together and really enjoying each other.

Fall Break 2013

We drove up Boullion Canyon was beautiful. Love, love the fall colors.
We explored the old mine areas and the outdoor museum.
Some of us went back to camp in the truck and the rest went over Cottonwood Canyon and had a ball riding in the snow again.
Zach went with Rylan and Sam out riding all day.
Mark and Rachel hung out with us too.

Fall Break 2013 ~ Day 2

DAY TWO

We rented a side-by-side and spent most of the day exploring trails, trying to stay warm and out of the snow.

Beautiful landscapes!
Happy children!
Grinning husbands!

We may need to make this a tradition.

Fall Break Baby!

We started Fall Break in Meadow, Utah.

The next day we went Marysville.

There were a few of these:

Lots of these:

And some of these:

Hours of this:

The kids loved to beg money off the older generation and use this:

We had three extra teenagers also:

All amounts to this:
FUN WEEKEND!
