Jewkes Family Campout

Last weekend we went camping with my family and had a fun time. It was great to be together and hang out with everyone. We camped near Willow Lake so the guys did lots of fishing. We also enjoyed four-wheeling on some great trails. At one point we had eleven four-wheelers between us. Definitely plenty for all who wanted to ride. The kids had enough helmets for each to wear and wanted someone to take them for rides all day long. Our camp included five trailers, three tents and a 50 gallon drum of water - yeah for flushing toilets and warm showers. The weather was really nice for the most part and I had to keep putting sunscreen on the boys and I, although, we still ended up getting a little burnt. I enjoyed being around my family and can't wait to go again.

Our beautiful camp


We barrowed a 12x14 canvas tent to sleep in from Nate's buddy. There was so much space for us that we decided we need buy one of our own.

The little kids loved camping and had so much fun with each other


The favorite hang-out spot for the kids was on the fourwheelers. We had to make sure we didn't leave the keys in them for fear of a little one walking away with it.

Nana brought water guns for all the kids. They loved filling them with water and shooting each other. Definitely a big hit.

It took a group effort (Nate, Fletcher and Mike) to help bring this big boy in from the water

We went camping too, by potters pond. One afternoon we went for a 4-wheeler ride,to the top of the mountain we were on, and could see Ferron Mtn. It looked like you were getting rained on. I hope it didn't get you too bad.
