5TH Annual Cousins Camp (Part 1)

For the past few summers, Anny, Kass, and I, with our kids, have gotten together in Utah for a week and Montana for a week for some planned and sometimes not so planned activities. The kids have enjoyed playing together, reconnecting, and sometimes even arguing :). Us moms/sisters, have enjoyed catching up, laughing, and sharing each other's incites. Last year we decided to give this "get together" a name.

COUSINS CAMP

Last week was the first part of cousins camp in Utah.

Here we are, THE COUNSELORS
With the week being hot (90's), we planned lots of water activities.
We started off with a trip to Cottonwood Heights pool.

We stayed one night at Kass's. A little water was in the pool in the back yard, the kids got swimming suits on after trying not to get their clothes wet.

We were happy to have our cousin, Trina and her three kids, join us for a day. We went to the zoo and the Gateway fountains.

We spent the afternoon and evening up Big Cottonwood Canyon. We strolled around (well, halfway around due to snow on the path) Silver Lake. We headed to a campsite to have tin foil dinners, dutch oven dessert, and smores'. Jim and Mick met us there as well. The kids had fun exploring the outdoors along with scratches, burns, and snowball fights.

We had such a fun cousins camp. Glad we are family.
