Ward Camp in the Mountains

 So this year, we tried out camping in the mountains. Our ward had camp up in the north country, on a ward member's family property. It was quite an adventure getting up there. We drove 11 miles from the main road that some parts were just cliff, going at about 10 miles an hour. When we finally got to the property, we had to walk in about a mile to the camp site, because the road was too treacherous for our mini van. 

When we finally reached our destination and set up camp. 

The evening was quite an adventure. Between being scared by a rat in the outhouse, and freezing through the night, I was on the verge of never camping again.

After getting through the night, we were greeted by warm sunshine and an awesome breakfast!

 The kids explored the property and played with each other, having a great time.

 So while we were there, the kids, particularly Tyler informed me that they did find a diamond back rattle snake. He explained that they tried to poke it with long stick. You can bet that the kids were getting an earful about how dangerous that is.

It was a fun trip, the kids seemed to enjoy it. Me on the other hand, ummmm, we'll see if time will heal wounds.
