This week we went to Palisades! I did some shopping on Saturday and was able to do the rest on Monday and get all the food/kitchen stuff packed. Kevin got all the tenting/laking things packed and by 2:00, we were ready to go! We got to the lake about 3:30 and started setting up camp. Our friends, the Francoms had arrived a couple of hours earlier, and Beth and Ben had a great time playing with them for a little bit. We even sang and enjoyed the treats for Cara Francom's eighth birthday! 

Grandma Gazdik came that first day and stayed in a cabin. It was so fun to have her! Mama and Papa Grigg came as well as Miranda and Jacob and their two kids and Bekah. From our family we had Kevin, me, Savannah, Sarah, McKay, Avery, Megan, Mariah, Cheyenne, Calianne, Beth, and Ben. Hannah came the whole time. Kolby came for a day and a night and Richmond came for a day. What a roster and what a fun time!

For the rest of the time, (Tuesday and Wednesday) we played in the lake and jumped from the rocks and played games on the dock and floated on rafts and paddle boarded. We also read books and talked and sang songs and played camp games. 

Wednesday was Bethany's birthday! She is fourteen years old! We had a cake for her at camp, and when we got back to Springville, Kevin and I got her a new phone. She is so grown. up! My littlest girl is now taller than almost all the kids in the family! Crazy, crazy!

On Thursday, we sadly packed up and headed back to "real" life. But we have our memories and can't wait until next year!
