Dyers Having Fun in the Woods

Memorial Day growing up always meant camping, usually somewhere in the Gifford Pinchot forest, and at least from the time I was 13 it was usually with the May family. Almost 20 years later when Memorial Day rolls around everyone asks...are we going to Beaver? So we headed up there, the Dyer clan minus Scott & Travis and the May clan. 5 campsites...18 adults, 22 kids...GOOD TIMES!

We visited the fish hatchery:

All the Dyer cousins

We swam in the Wind River

Two snails snuck into our campsite for some alone time

Ken & Barbie enjoyed their "quiet honeymoon" also

We met up with some friends from our ward who were camping about 5 miles away for another hike....so many kids it was craziness on the trail

But the two waterfalls we saw were beautiful!

Overall a fun filled weekend. Lots of good times around the campfire, smores, dutch oven, baseball games, bike riding & family fun times!

Anonymous said...: That was fun weekend. Brought back so many memories of years past. It is fun to see your family enjoying the great outdoors. It was great being together with the Dyers, and Kellers. We have something with our two families that is not enjoyed by most of the world.; June 19, 2009 at 5:04 PM

What is The Chicken House? When my oldest became a big brother, he realized that his spot in moms arms while she rested on the couch had now been taken over by his baby sister. He decided that he would make a new nest in the crook of my legs which he fondly dubbed his "chicken house". Six children later this little spot made by the crook of my legs is coveted whenever I sit down or lay on the couch. In fact, I can't ever sit anywhere without one of the kids sitting on me. They love to snuggle and get their toes warmed and we have come to think of the Chicken House as any place where you feel safe, warm and happy.
