The relay races

Craig was cramming baby food down during the relay race. Since he fed this to Donovan he thought he could choked it down. Yeah he couldn't.
The boys and trying to ban togther to beat the fabulous girls.
Laura was the chosen to choke down the baby food. She was about to this with quite ease. She dominated Craig.
Sandra chugged down a Dr. Pepper. She did awesome!!!
My parents and Craig and Sandra doing a race. Just take a gues who won this race?

The last fun thing that we did together at the cabin besides clean was doing a fun relay races. Guys vs. Girls of course. The first one was to chew gum, say a chant, eating baby food, chewing crakers and whistle, drinking Dr. Pepper. Just take a guess on who won? The loser did the dishes and clean up the most in the cabin. Take a guess who one?

The scavenger hunt

The next morning was about the scavenger hunt for the kids. Kaydee found the map that Craig created. They went around the cabin and the search for the treasure high and low. Austin found the chest and opened it up to find a lot of jewlery, fruit snacks, candy for everyone to enjoy. They talked about the scavenger hunt for quite a while.

The weene Roast

We found out how quick the sun went down to have enough light to do our weene roast and smores. The kids liked taking the hot dog and putting them on the hot dog sticks. Some of them like the fire pit more than others. Of course Megan wouldn't eat it but she liked cooking it. The scmores she couldn't get enough of. Austin did really well with the hot dogs, and Orrin was just scared of the fire and wouldn't go near it. He wanted to go walking everywhere possible. Every thrid step he would fall. He was getting a little frustrated. The men had their broats and all smores that they stomach. After all the food. We had our skits and had fun laughing at each other. At night we played cards by latern. It was a long night. But all fun.

The Horse Shoe game

Playing Horse Shoes. Kyle put up the game and there was a couple of ringers and way more than one game. Kyle was really good at the ringers. Matt was really having a good streak for a while. Look how graceful they are flinging those horse shoes. Such style. Tate and Austin found different flowers and gave them to the mommies.

Just getting adjusted to the cabing and exploring all the fun around. The was a tire swing that ll the kids enjoyed. My parents also swung the kids around and also took them on hikes. We found the fire pit to do the weene roast and smores on. During the day it was a nice 75 degrees outside. Since here in Maricopa there isn't a lot of trees or places to hike Austin and Megan had a blast hiking and swinging and just being outside.

Diane and Jaylee Cabin

Another fun point to our vacation was going to Diane and Jaylee's cabin. It don't remember where the cabing was located but it was at least a 45 minute drive from Spanish Fork. There was no electricity and there was an out house. So for us to cook there was a generator. The out house was nice and big. The cabin was old but very functional and fun!!! It made me really appreciated what wonders electricity is and how much a take energy for granted. There were many things we did there and had a lot of fun with. My mom had the whole day and a half planned with family tee shirts, Scavenger hunt, weene roast, family skits, relay races, hikes. All the fun things I did when on vacation. Austin asked, "Where is the tv." I was actually embarrest because there was so much to do there outside. I think the hardest part was trying to get Orring to walk because there was so side walk to level walk to walk on unless being inside. That was really boring to be inside so I carried him around a lot!!!!

My cute little guy

Craig, Sandra, my mom, my grandma, Matt, and I played card games at night and all the kids were able to go to sleep besides Orrin. I wasn't able to play until we brought up the play pen and put snacks and his blanket in there. He sat in there and watched tv and ate. Every once in a while he would stand up and make some noise just to tell us that he was still awake. I think he finally fell asleep at midnight. I thought he was so cute for being such a stinker and stying awake for so long.

Golfing with deer around

When going glofing in Arizona we don't the luxury of seeing real wild life like this there. But since the boys got to go golfing Matt liked taking the camera to take pictures of deer who decided to watch them golf. My brother Kyle and dad usually won. Matt did pretty well. The scenery was beautiful so no wonder why they enjoyed going so often.

This little kids swing was being occupied for a long time. Orrin really liked it when it was his turn.

My brother Christian, Laura, Craig, standing by the trash cans talking to cousins. Austin getting on the big kids swing. My brother Kyle was swinging kids for quite a while.
My dad sitting by the big tree watching all the kids rung around.

So my dad grew up in Spanish Fork, UT and he still has two brothers and a sister that live in Utah and his oldest sister Diane still lives in Spanish Fork. I has been a treat to see her and her family. My cousins are all older than I am becuase my dad is the baby of the family. My Aunt Diane is likes get togethers and she has a yard and all the fixing for a fun time. My uncle Jay's family did a fish pond and other games that the children wanted to do and they all had a great time. It was good to see my cousins and see their lives different and changed from their children and jobs. After all the bubbles, silly sting, food, Matt let me go to Glades. I loved going to Glades because of their yummy food. We took the food and usually went to see the nearest baseball game or just go to the park and play. Now I was just excited to get their milk shakes. It was a really fun time with Newitt family. I would enjoy it next year!!!
