We were able to be in Utah for 2 weeks and during basically the entirety of the 2nd week we were camping with Brig's family.
Every year we all get together and camp for a week. It's awesome... and also a little crazy.
We camped up at the Cinnamon Creek campground past Porcupine Dam. Usually there are a couple days spent down at the dam, but unfortunately for us it kind of always fell during Andy's nap time. We did, however, make it to the creek with everyone. We went there on the 4th of July instead of the dam.
There is also the yearly hike to Rosie's Mine, which I didn't participate in because I didn't want to haul my pregnant body up a mountain... but Brig took Andy. They went when my sister Melanie who came up to camp for a night. It was so fun to have her come!
I think almost every night everyone gathered for a game of volleyball. Each night more and more players were assembled too.
The first night all the "brothers" had to be on one team and everyone else played against them.
I usually sat on the sidelines with the kiddos and watched the excitement. I thought it was best I didn't get involved in any full contact sports, especially because I tend to be a tad bit competitive.
My dad has really been accepting his role as grandfather and has been collecting various gear for the grandkids. One of those items was a bike trailer, so we took it with us up to camp and Brig took Andy and Amber out for a spin.
They loved it.
One thing that Brig's mom made sure to do this year at the reunion was to get pictures of everyone. I believe she got a picture of each individual family and then we got group pictures too!

Andy did really well camping. We took my parents tent (The Hicken Hotel) and put Andy in a pack n' play on one side and then Brig and I slept on the other side.
It rained one of the days that we were up camping and it felt amazing! I actually had energy that day because the sun wasn't out zapping it all away. I have definitely become accustomed to the AK weather.
And here is one more picture of my boys...

How fun that his family all goes camping for a week! That would be a blast. Especially in that area with so many fun things to do. I love how active and outdoors-y you guys are even with a kid and one on the way! I hope I can be like that as well.
