Family Campout
When Steven arrived home from work Friday afternoon, we loaded up the car and set off on our family vacation for the summer: an overnight campout at Boyd Lake.
We arrived at our campsite, and quickly set up the tents and started on cooking hotdogs for dinner.
Steven made a peach cobbler in the dutch oven for dessert. John helped with the dishes.
Later on, we got caught in a brief thunder shower, but we gathered in the car to wait it out, and it soon passed over and we were able to take a walk.
Before heading for bed, Hannah played her harmonica and we practiced memorizing the periodic table.
The next morning after breakfast, the kids washed the dishes, while Steven and I took down the tents and cleaned up the campsite.
We headed down to the lake, where we took a walk by the shore and played element frisbee. (When we tossed the frisbee, we said a number and the person who caught it had to say what element that number referred to.)
After we left the lake, we drove up to where the new Fort Collins Temple will be built and had a picnic lunch at the church building across the street.
Finally we headed for home from our quick, but fun, campout.
