Our One and Only Campout

So... my mom had this AWESOME idea! She decided she wanted to have EVERYONE over for a backyard campout... complete with an outdoor movie at a park right by their house. Well, apparently that night went really well... for those that could come. Us Stafford's had a house full of out-of-town visitors, and tons of other craziness going on, and we couldn't go! Sorry guys! But... the next weekend, we got to have a turn. It would have been fun to have everyone there, but we still had a GREAT time hanging out with my parents, camping in the backyard. And although we had planned on going camping a few times this summer, this ended up being the only one. It was a good one :)

Getting "set-up!"

The boys had the best time messing around on the slide. I LOVE that my dad thought a slide off the rock wall in the backyard would be cool... because IT IS!!

Then, Kaitlyn was asking about the little house on the top of Timp. She asked Papa if he could bring out his "scope" so she could see what it looks like. Of course he brought it right out, and we looked at stuff on the top of Timp, then turned it around and looked at some sailboats out on Utah Lake. Yeah, my parents have the BEST VIEW from their yard. :)

Eryn... of course she has to get a little reading in. :)

Everyone else... hanging out :) And Jeff and Marie happened to be down that weekend, so we brought them along for the campout.

Thanks Mom and Dad. What a fun idea to have a campout in your backyard. I hope next year we can be there with everyone else. We sure did have a great time! :)
