California

Again, these pictures are a little out of order. On Saturday we went to Manhattan beach and watched the surfers and volleyball players for a little bit. At the end of the pier there was a cute little aquarium where you could touch some star fish:

 

Ok, on Friday Mom was helping Aunt Judy so Faith, Cheryl, Dad, and I went to Huntington Beach and watched the surfers:

On the way home, on Saturday evening, we stopped by the Redlands, California temple:

Cheryl was having fun with the night setting :):

We stopped in Sizzler for dinner and the waiters kept bringing out toast. The only people who could eat the toast was Dad and Faith. After the second plate they had, had enough of toast. Mom convinced Dad that it was okay to leave the uneaten toast on the table:

It was a super fun trip and I was glad we were able to go and spend some time with each other before Faith and I leave on Wednesday.

Camping

This weekend my sister, Faith, and I went camping with my brother, sister-in-law, niece, and nephew. Here are the pictures I took, sorry  they are kind of out of order.

This is the 10 person tent we slept in:

 

Us going on a hike:

We found this awesome swing and we all took a turn on it:

J.R. and John hangin' out and taking pictures:

There were these nasty silk worm spider web things everywhere:

My beautiful sister running across some water:

The first night we were there we roasted marshmallows and John decided to squish one in his hands. It got EVERYWHERE:

Us playing Bohnanza:

This was a cute flower bouquet Esther and the kids picked:

Fish at the fish hatchery:

Faith caught a lizard:

We were at the fish hatchery when it started raining. This is us after we made it to the car:

We built this cool little shelter by our tent so we could cook our lunch while it rained:

After it had rained for a while, the mountains where covered in this creepy looking fog:

Tin foil dinners:

Our camp was attacked and surrounded by skunks. Luckily none of us got sprayed, but I got a few good pictures:

This is the potty:

Horses that were close to our camp:

Us playing Bohnanza, again, in McDonalds on our way home:

It was a super fun weekend, I was glad for the time I was able to spend with my family.
