"Boys Camp" at Greens Peak with the Finchers

Earlier in the month when Lois was getting ready to go to girls camp, Isaiah would ask "Where you goin' Grandma", Lois told him she was giong to girls camp and that he couldn't go because he was a boy. He then told Lois that she would have to take him to "boys" camp. So when we had the opportunity to go up to Greens Peak for the 4th of July we told Isaiah that it would be boys camp. Well when we got there, The Finchers were there with Aaron. And those two boys sure did have a fun time at "Boys Camp". I think they played with every stick and rock in the forest. They hiked and hunted and played with the dog. We will have to make boys camp an annual tradition. (Only I think Isaiah would let us include girls too)


Aaron and Isaiah were having the time of their lives.



Aunt Belva handing out the booty bags. They were going on a pine cone hunt.



Isaiah loved the fire but he hated the smoke.



A fallen tree trunk makes a great drum.




I loved the brances on this huge Ponderosa pine.



The Indian Paintbrushes were gorgeous.



The group from the top of greens Peak. We found lots of treasures on that mountain.



Isaiah was ready for bed but Aaron insisted on an encore of one of his dances before beddy bye. Aunt Belva helped with the costume by making the headdress. What great campfire programs he put on.

Mom, did you write this? I love when you refer to yourself as Lois but I'm pretty sure its you! :)
I wish we could have gone camping too but we did have a good time with the moores in colorado. Can you go with us next weekend (camping)?

Yes it is me. I just have a habit of writing in third person. That way I am not writing about "me" but I am writing about everybody the same. I will see about the camping next weekend. Thanks
