Mount Pleasant and Scofield-- Reimann Rebellion

Last Thursday we packed up and went to Camping World in Mount Pleasant with my parents. Mount Pleasant is near Manti. My mom and dad bought a membership to Camping World, so we get to share the spoils. The campground was great. The grounds were kept so nice. There was a lot of grass in the campsite. Thus keeping the kids pretty clean.
The campground also had a swimming pool. We played in it every day. It was so refreshing. It was a hot weekend. Brad just finished up his swimming lessons and had to show off some of his skills.

Claire is still my little water baby.
Brad and Whitnee jumped in and out of the pool at least 1,000 times.
Kirsten
Kennedy (BEAN) and Natalie

What is a camping trip without good food? As soon as we were done eating a meal we would start thinking and talking about the next meal. We had some great deserts too. I made key lime pie, my mom made some really good Dutch oven cake. And oh the chocolate we ate.
We played a lot of games… I would be a happy girl if I never had to look at a Candyland board again. Randy’s favorite was electronic Monopoly. I won him on the first game and he still will not live it down.
Grandpa moose and Claire. Claire loved riding on grandpa's shoulders.
Bean is so stinking cute. I would say "I love you Bean" and she would reply "Love Me?? HUH? How can you not love this little face.

On Monday we packed up camp and moved to Scofield reservoir for the Reimann rebellion. My parent’s stake owns property called Starpiont right by the lake. Within the first 2 hours the kids were a filthy mess. The dirt there was so bad. The kids ate it up. They constructed Tepees with logs and blankets. I was quite impressed with their craftsmanship.



Brad played soccer in a big field. He was in dirt heaven.
Kirsten and my cousin Niki were fast friends.
My aunt Kristie introduced us to Campfire pretzels. She took canned Biscuit dough and wrapped it around a roasting stick. Then when they are cooked you dip them in butter and Cinnamon and sugar. The were so fun to make and killer good.





Claire was such a good baby camping. She loved being outdoors.
Eric brought his new bike camping. Randy and I got to take if for a ride in Fairview canyon. It was absolutely beautiful. Being on the back of a motorcycle is so liberating. I am going to have one someday.
The trip was really fun. We came home early Wednesday, because we had to go back to work. My family is still up there rebelling. We wish we could have stayed longer but it always feels good to be home again.

I loved all of the pictures Jen. The big cubes of butter in that pot and Starpoint. Ahhhh. I liked that place. I'm glad to see that the little green John is still there. Glad you had fun.

It looks like you guys had so much fun! Camping is the best! That canyon is BEAUTIFUL! We used to go fishing/sledding up there all of the time before we had Braxten. And that is where my home stake has Girls Camp every year! It is so Pretty!
