Pinto in July - The Ford Clan

I LOVE visiting Pinto, UT. Its a little cabin community, with inhabitants usually on holiday weekends in the summer.
I didn't take a lot of pictures this trip, I wanted to be involved in my vacation, not behind my camera lens the whole time. Do any of my fellow photographers feel this way sometimes? I didn't get pictures of everyone. Bummer! But oh well, I wasn't on the clock. haha
Activities this year included:
    -relaxing in hammocks
    -watch Kate "ALMOST" walk. Seriously, she is so close.
   -riding Uncle Dave & Aunt Korrie's 4 wheelers (BIG SHOUT OUT TO THEM!!! THANK YOU)
   -shooting a few arrows with the kids
   -tying a quilt for Kendall & Kira's family.
   -decorating clipboards - fun craft idea mom! (they kinda look like these clipboards)
   -sleeping in a tent with my 2 kids, we opted out of sleeping in the beautiful red cabin this year.
   -eating yummy food and eating lots of treats

 

 

Kira & Scotti are hard at work on their clipboards.

Grandma betty has the CUTTEST craft paper and ribbons.

 

Kendall and Kira working on the quilt.

Almost everyone was involved in making the quilt in some way. I even saw Dillon with a needle and yarn at one point. What a stud.
This was such a fun activity to do as a family, and knowing it would be keeping

Kendall & Kira's family warm this winter made it ALL the more FUN!

 

 

In case you are wondering, I had to hand the camera to Brian and say "take a picture

of me doing this, I want to remember I was here too". HA!

That's the only way I get in pictures these days.

 

 

 

They are best friends. REALLY. Its So. Darn. Cute.

 

Owen loved waking up and realizing he was still in the tent.
 

Kate is ALMOST one year old and ALMOST walking!!!

She likes being one of the "Big Girls".

These two were the BEST babysitters ever.

I never had to worry. Thanks girlies.

Summer Get Away {Warm River Springs}

Warm River Springs was so pretty and fun! We went on the annual summer camping trip with the Johnson crew. Oh how we have missed it the last few years...so glad we got to go.
Owen was having sooo much fun he wouldn't stop to take a nap. So he would fall asleep on-the-go...even on a 4-wheeler or motorcycle ride.

Owen's attitude was "GO GO GO" - till eventually he just zonked out right in the middle of a 4-wheeling ride with mommy. Guess it wasn't a very thrilling ride. hehe.

Owen's favorites on the campout:
 - 4 wheeler rides with mom
 - motorcycle rides with dad
 - playing in the dirt
 - floating the river
 - throwing rocks in the river and watching them 'splash'
 - running around the campfire
 - eating lots of candy
 - sleeping in the sleeping bag with mom and dad
Grandpa Jimbo and Grandma Betty gave us a giant sleeping bag for our wedding. We can still fit our whole family in it. Its sooo fun to use. Thanks!

Brian's favorites on the campout:
 - motorcycling
 - shooting guns (He looks so good shootin that gun!)
 - relaxing and hanging 'round the campfire

Adri's favorites on the campout:
 - 4 wheeling and exploring with Brian and Owen
 - hiking
 - playing WACKY SIX with the girls (card game)
 - making embroidry floss bracelets
 - shooting guns (I learned I'm a natural with a pistol. Watch out bad guys!)
