Camping

Last week end we went camping with our neighbors, Nephi and Hannah Williams. In the mouth of green canyon a piece fell off of the Williams’ car. The car still worked but they didn’t want to drive it more incase that would make it worse. So we packed the 4 of us and all of our stuff in our car and kept driving. We spent a while looking for a campsite but eventually the boys found the perfect one. We immediately started dinner: mashed potatoes with bacon and cheese; and meatballs and gravy. While we waited for dinner we played a few rounds of hand and foot.

Here are Hannah and Nephi cleaning the Dutch ovens. It was quite dark by then so she was holding a light for him. We stayed up late enough for the fire to burn down to a few hot coals and then hit the sack. Here are Hannah and Nephi in their tent and me setting out our sleeping bags.

The next morning Nephi started the fire while Bryan started briquettes for breakfast: Dutch oven breakfast casserole.

We had a big day ahead of us helping build an addition onto a house in Brigham for Hannah’s brother so we packed up after one last round of hand and foot.

When we got back to their car Nephi called his dad and described the piece that had fallen off. His dad knew exactly where it went; it helped hold the belt on for the idle. He also said it would be ok to drive as long as the belt didn’t come off.

So we followed them straight to Auto Zone to make sure nothing else happened.

In this picture Nephi is describing the piece to his dad and trying to see where it is from.

Despite the car trouble we had a great time and hope to do it again before it gets too cold.
