Yankee Meadows

 August 18th through the 20th we went camping at Yankee Meadows. My friend Wendy and I and our 6 six kids left Thursday morning. Wendy's husband Josh came up Thursday night and my cousin Emily and Bryce Adams and their little boy came up Friday. We had such a fun time and it was such a beautiful place I can't believe I hadn't been there before.
 Isaac and Ty
 There is a beautiful resivor right by where we camped that we liked to throw rocks in.  Also Josh brought up a canoe and fighing boat that was so fun to go out in.
 Wendy and Tenley
 Ty and Anna playing on the rocks. I love the mountains in the background.
 The kids had a great time playing on this fence.
 Jackson pretended it was his rhino.

 Anna Isabel
 Anna and Tenley loved playing on the wheelers.
 Bryce, Emily and Dillon.
 Wendy and I washing all the sippy cups with our propane stove. Unfortunately I didn't bring enough propane (or we did too much washing) and the next mornig we cooked our breakfast borritoes over the fire. That's fun too though.
 Tag and Jackson love driving their trucks on the rocks.
 My cousin SheriDawn lives in Parowan which is only about 20 minutes away so she and two of her boys came and visited us.
 Out on the canoe. Josh took the kids out a lot and he even watched ALL the kids while Wendy and I went out once.

 This made me laugh so hard.....The boys would get on the wheelers, hold their feet up and coast all the way down a long hill. They just had to steer around the curves. Jackson sat on the back with Isaac driving and they would do it over and over.
 Still going....
 ....Still going
It goes past those trees quite a ways, down to a fence. 
 These little girls have fun together - only 12 days apart.
 Doesn't this chair bring out the color in my eyes?
 Anna and Tenley racing the wheelers. They even coasted down the hill a ways.
Go, go go!
