10.06.2011: Camping Trip...Relocated to Riverside

Due to terribly cold weather, we relocated our camping trip this weekend from Payson, out to Riverside.  It also gave us an opportunity to spend a lot of time with Gramma & Papa.  Vince and I drove out there on Weds afternoon, and I got to spend the day with Gramma & Papa all day Thurs.  It was a lot of fun just hanging out there instead of just there for a quick visit.  I got to help Papa out in the garden...and learned how to grow strawberries.  No, it is not what it seems!  So, I planted my own strawberry plant...and keep your fingers crossed that she will thrive!! I actually planted quite a few, but one is "my baby".  I also learned how to make dirt.  Growing dirt...farming dirt.  Again, not what it seems...and there is an art to it...and I was very closely supervised, so I know I did it right :)  It was a great day spending time with them and hearing about lots of little stories over the past 50 years in that house.  Many good memories there, and I just made some more this weekend. 

Brent & Alisa arrived into town with their crew later Thurs afternoon.  They stopped by to say hi on their way to Mom & Dads.  They also had Yukon with them, and Gramma & Papa were just as excited to see him as they are to see all of us :)  Avery sat with Papa for a while, and loved his oxygen cords.  She was pulling on them & laughing...very cute!






Vince cooked us all a great dinner that night & we were all able to just relax and hang out and enjoy each other.  No big plans for the weekend except to spend time with family and relax!!
