Camping - Bull Canyon

This weekend we did some camping. REAL camping, no bathrooms, running water, or electricity, and sadly no Motor Home just our tent and the HARD ground. We survived and it really was fun to spend time with our neices and nephews. Our nephew Dustin is leaving for his mission next week (Chicago) so we're trying to squeeze in every minute we can. Dustin has been our girls favorite cousin since they were born. Dustin can do no wrong in their eyes no matter how rough he gets with them or makes them cry or how badly he stinks they go back for more. (We haven't figured it out why they love him so much) They love to cuddle up with him and watch movies or just ride the tractor with him. They have a very special place for him in their hearts, and they are going to miss him dearly.

Dustin loading everything in. Here comes the mad sheep dog. Bryce's head & the canyon Isn't it pretty? The canyon.

So anyways we camped out for a night. The only way to get there was on 4 wheelers. Uncle Alan has lots of fun toys they have 2 old army jeeps that they take for driving up in the canyon. They are tons of fun. We always look forward to jeep rides when we go to Arbon. (Arbon is a small farming community between Rockland and Pocatello if you know where that is)

We had to drive through the canyon on very bumpy terrain. We made it through a herd of sheep and the vicious sheep dog. we had a few mud holes to make it through but that's what makes it memorable.

Jappy rented paint ball guns for everyone just to shoot around. We couldn't convince anyone to let us shoot them so we shot other things. We had some deer come into camp and the guys wanted to shoot at them. They never did hit them but they did scare them, not enough though they hung around for the rest of the evening. Crazy deer.

The men were protecting us from the killer bees in the tent. It was hilarious listening to them while they were trying to kill them with their hats. Cousin Jessi and her husband Bryce sitting in the jeep waiting for target practice to start. The last picture Jessi Dustin Jappy and Bryce in the distance. Bryce would throw the bottle and the three would shoot at it to see who could hit it.
Dustin was the better shot.

The girls enjoyed squirting everyone. The boys cutting firewood

Jappy cooked and the rest of us assisted when he needed us. It was relaxing and quiet, except for our own loudness. We all enjoyed teasing each other. Cousin Bryce thought it was funny to tie the girls arms behind them. It was pretty funny

Our girls never have really slept in a tent before and we shared a tent with Uncle Alan and Dustin. It has a door to seperate the two sides of the tent. Well Brooklyn didn't quite understand the concept of it. Everytime she wanted to tell Dustin something she would YELL it. We just laughed and told her it wasn't a real wall, and to talk normal to him. Yeah she still yelled. The other thing was we didn't put the rain fly over the tent cause there was no need for it, so we could see the stars. and Brooklyn says "I can't go to sleep cause the stars are to brite." This coming from the girl who likes to have the night light and the hall light left on at night. SILLY

We had a fun time and our next week and a half is loaded with family things before we send Dustin on his way.
