Our last 2 eventful weekends

Causy

2 weekends before we left, we went to Causy with the Bundy's and Peterson's. It was kind of last minute, so I'm happy we were able to make it work this year! This is definitely still our favorite spot, but we discovered it's much easier to transport all our stuff in a canoe, rather than kayaks. It was hard, but somehow we fit 6 people in 2 doubles and a single (do the math, that's only 5 seats) PLUS all of our stuff-- 6 sleeping bags, 3 tents, 6 camping chairs, pillows, food, fishing equipment clothes and whatever other items we needed. I don't know how we did it, but we did!



I just love the green water!!
We had another awesome sunset, which I always love. The boys had fun fishing and catching crawdads. Brody caught a fish, gutted it and roasted it-- I had no idea I'd be so sad watching a poor little fish die right there in front of me and I was not amused when he asked me to hold his stick over the fire. But I did end up eating some of it, and it was pretty good!





I didn't do great with the pictures this year. You wouldn't even know that Lindsey and the Peterson's were there (sorry guys!), but they were. I was planning to take a group shot or at least one of the girls at the end before we got back into our cars, but when I dropped my camera into the water when we got to the shore, that plan disappeared. (Don't worry, it works fine now! It just needed a day or two to dry out.)


Farewell Party

The weekend right before we left, we had the Bundy's and the Densly's over Saturday to Sunday. We had a yummy dinner
Sadly, the Jake and Cam were kind of left out of the circle most of the time. Sorry boys!
Our favorite girl (in my favorite outfit)....

played glow-in-the-dark ultimate frisbee

played cards

and beach volleyball (as you can see, we really like that game. it's quite fun with such a big ball-- we get pretty competitive)

Sal was also shunned during part of our activities (tied up on the tree)
p.s. most of these pictures are courtesy of my mom. I'm just slacking lately


We had such a fun time and I'm so grateful the Bundy's and Densly's could come and share our last weekend in Logan with us!

TO BE CONTINUED (again)......

Josh and I just got back from camping up at causey a week and a half ago! We also canoed all of our stuff in and we did a whole lot of fishing! We really liked it there and will probably go back next year!!

Great post! It just makes me sad though cause all the fun is OVER here at our house. We're back in the boring ole school & work routine. Oh well- we have our great memories. LOVE the picts from Causy- esp the one of you hugging Brody while he's fishing. I'm so happy your camera survived the water. I did do a great job of taking picts, didn't I? (much to the dismay of most of the people having to pose for them every other minute. . .

Looks like you guys had so much fun before you left! I'm so sad you guys are gone, especially cause we hung out like every day. . . . but you know. I still miss you! I hope you survive the heat in AZ! But I will be sooooo jealous of your warm winter!
