This is not dejavu!

Our yard has gone to pot, our flower beds are overgrown with weeds, and the garden is non-existent, but we've made memories that will out-live the overgrowth in our yard. It's probably not a surprise that we were camping again this weekend. Thanks to our friends, the Rowley Family, we were able to explore Black Smith Fork canyon right here in the hills by us. We've known Kristi and Jim since we were in our ward in Logan. We were thrilled when they moved into our ward here in Hyrum. They and their 3 beautiful girls were great as they showed us the best places to camp up left hand fork, and worked on our dutch oven cooking skills. The kids entertained themselves by playing in the slow moving river catching fish with a net and creating sand (dirt) castles in the sandy dirt. It made for some great muddy fun. We also took a 3.2 mile hike. Our destination was a water fall, but we turned around when we found out we were only half way there. The kids were happy hiking as long as we kept singing primary songs, but when they stopped the going got a little tougher. We talked a lot about the pioneers and their sacrifices. They all agreed that they were glad they didn't have to walk and walk and walk as their ancestors did.
