Camp Nauvoo

In August we were able to attend a ward camp-out at Camp Nauvoo with our Mills family.
The boys started off the night with multiple games of Yahtzee. Grandma Jean is so patient and played quite a few games with Josh.

We were able to spend time with our family and our old ward family. It was nice to catch up with some friends.

Here's the Mills' encampment. The tents in order from left to right, ours, Peter and Janell, Teri and Grandma, Jeff and Dorene.

Matt-man modeled Grandma's cot for the night. Yep, she brought her recliner. She had a great night's sleep, for camping.

Parker helped Jason ring the bell for the kid's activities.

Parker and Mitchell were comparing their Spiderman swimsuits.

And of course there was a lollipop hike...

and some face painting or in Josh's case, arm painting.

Cameron and Josh participated in the balloon relay.

The balloon "toss" (or fight) at the end of camp is a tradition.

Last, Josh's favorite part, catching a ride on the raft with his dad.

Camp Nauvoo is such a beautiful place. My husband did his Eagle Project here. He planted trees and built some benches. Josh thought it was so neat that his dad did that. He even complimented Dave on it. I thought that just made his project all worth it, his own son was able to come and admire his hardwork. We love spending time with any and all of our family. It was a nice end to our summer full of fun!
