Fourth of July Camping Trip

This past 4th of July we went camping at Camp Joseph. It is a church owned camp ground at the place where Joseph Smith was born. It is quite the fun place. There is a large grassy area perfect for sports, a pond where we swam and others caught salamanders, tent campsites, cabins, and great fire pits.

Here are Emily and Ezra making home at the campsite.
They were great fire starters. They both stood there and blew air onto the fire to try and start it.
Here is Emily in her 4th of July getup. I'm kind of a dork, but I saw this shirt on a craft blog I look at and it was pretty fun to make.
Here's daddy doing another face painting masterpiece on her. (Remember the tiger face??)
All finished. Complete with crown my friend Mindy made all the kids.
We came up with a few crafting ideas for the kids to do while we were there. Here are EmmaLee and Ezra Bowling making eagle t-shirts.
Mindy also constructed confetti poppers for the kids. They were a big hit but not so much fun to clean up after. (Actually, we just swept the confetti in the rocks... don't tell).
Emily and her friend Audrey had a grand time playing with sponges and buckets. Oh to be young again.
Modeling the finished eagle shirt. The kids also played all night with glow sticks and sparklers.
Our attempt at getting a picture of all the kids. It just shows what a good time everyone was having.
We are grateful to have such great friends and to live somewhere where we can do all kinds of fun stuff!
