We enjoyed a Week of Camping at BIG ELK CREEK. It is between Alpine and Jackson Hole by the Palisades. We were with some of Mike's extended family. It was so much fun. we had a great time just hanging out and visiting. Rylie was pretty adventurous on this trip and Bode was ALWAYS a mess! But he couldn't have been happier. Can't wait til next year! Bode overlooking Big Elk Creek...

The CAMPING family before we headed to Jackson Hole (post to come)
Rylie and Bode in the trailer
Dog Pile in the trailer, the kids slept awesome.
Karissa and Bode
Saige and Rylie, Saige is the best at painting nails.
Mike and Bode hauling firewood, we enjoyed the campfire every night. Smores and cobblers EVERY night too.
Bode just roamed all over, he was so happy to do his thing and he didn't have a care in the world.
Josie and Rylie are only 6 months apart and they are both pretty good campers. They were together the whole trip. They rode bikes back and forth from one camp to the next. They had to dress alike, do their hair alike, and always be together. We didn't see much of either one of them the whole trip. Its so fun to have cousins to play with.
Josie and Rylie talked Uncle Billy into taking them on a bike ride to the boat ramp. I thought for sure they would get a few blocks away and the girls would give up and come back. Well Uncle Billy did get them all the way to the boat ramp and it was quite a ride for the girls. He gave them pushes or jump starts. Then they would stop and pick every type of flower they could find on the way back. They couldn't stop talking about the bike ride, either.

Rylie and Josie were in her parents trailer, when the bathroom door kept slowly swinging open. They would shut it but it would not latch and the then the door would swing back open. Josie says that she hopes its not a ghost. When Rylie pipes in that she hopes its the "holy ghost". Yeah for Primary.
Rylie is hanging out with Aunt Sallie and pulling faces. Aunt Sallie brought the game Guess Who! Its a kids game where you pick out a person and the other team guesses who it is. We decided to play Human Guess Who with our group and what an adventure. We laughed so hard at the game. I think you had to be there to understand how funny it was. It was a fun night.
Uncle Zayne and Aunt Terri just bought a boat before we left and they let us help them try it out. Uncle Zayne took Mike on a pretty easy tub ride, so I went on the tub expecting the same deal. I however had a heck of a ride. For some freak reason, I ended up 5 feet in the air on the tube and then went head over heals off the back of the tube. The tube continued to go up in the air about 15 feet and stayed up there. They blame it on some freak thing, but I think Mike paid his Uncle to get me off the tube. After I was freezing cold from the water I decided to get water skiing a try again (its been 5 years or so) and I was able to get up. It was a fun time.

Don't you love Rylie's hair. Our family friend Lynette started braiding it when she had to help her son. So Aunt Terri and Aunt Sallie finished it up. It was perfect not having to deal with it or make it just right for her. I think we should braid her hair all summer.
Cousin Kasey helped them catch butterflies, they thought he was the best!
Bode's Butterfly!
Mike's cousin was telling Rylie how much she looked like her mom. She laughed and then told her that "she gets her fashion from her dad". Anyone who knows Mike knows she is full of it. ha ha. what a girl.
