Forest Camperee in May

Last weekend it was time for some of the valley folks to leave the hot desert temps and head for the cool climate of RIM country. Mega planning went into the choosing the perfect location to park everyone in order for the shooters and the quadders could stay busy. The chosen site was just three miles west of Heber and 2.5 miles north of the 260. Four families were in attendance Friday night and more joined on Saturday. Brent was in his jet lag mode, having flown in the day before from London. We joined the crew each day, as we were real happy to go home each night to our comfy beddie-by!


Woody, the Beltz trailer.


Dev and Dil loaded up Dev's quad with firewood!


Time to unload some wood.

That task kept them very busy.

Another past time was to play with a container of store bought worms! Dev asked if he could buy some worms when they were at Walmart the day before. "Sure, why not?" All of the kids had fun tormenting the poor creatures, including warming them up in the fire! Who would have thunk?

The kids even built a mote to encircle the creatures but it was a little difficult to keep the precious camping water to stay. This structure was affectionately deemed "Wormopolis"!

Lunch time with Uncle Brenty.

Sunday the kids built "Birdopolis", which included raking pine needles for a nest and digging holes for each of the kids (birds) to sit in and run their little trucks and toys in the dirt.

Sorry these pictures are so dark but you can see there's lots of trees so little sunshine was available to get good pics!

Besides a little rain on Friday night, the weather was great for everyone who wanted to quad or shoot one of the many guns from the arsenal on hand. The group was introduced to "Geo caching", which I'm pretty sure you will hear more about in future posts.

Until then....toodles!
