Ward Campout 8/12-8/13

On Friday, August 12th we headed off to our Ward Camp Out at the John Johnson Farm.  The boys didn't take a nap this day and this is what they looked like as we left the house.

Emily was happy to be there.

Yummy!

Emily looked really cute in Christopher's hat (even though she doesn't look happy)

Christopher washing his hands.

Eating s'mores.

Yummy, marshmallow!

Christopher and Wyatt were running around holding hands and playing.

Christopher wanted to put his marshmallow on this stick.

He did it!

The camp out was really fun.  I'm glad that we have such a great ward and great friends in our ward.  Emily slept really well and the boys had a blast.  I was eaten by mosquitoes and somehow got into poison ivy.  I think that I am done camping for the year!
After we packed up the car Nathanial asked if we could go inside the Johnson house. As we were driving from the camp site to the Johnson Home we saw a turtle on the road.  We stopped to see it and Ryan was going to bring it in the car to show the boys but a police car pulled up behind us.  Ryan ended up putting it on the side of the road.  We went back to look for it but couldn't find it.  Although, Ryan did find a snake. We decided that we were too tired from camping to take a tour of the home so we played on the large rock by the house instead. While we were there Ryan found this hairy caterpillar.
