Aspen Grove - June 2010



We went to the BYU Aspen Grove family camp in Provo with my family. I didn't know what to expect, other than we heard it was "great" and there was a two-year waiting list. My parents signed our family up for this some time ago, and we weren't disappointed. We spent the week, hiking, swimming, playing sports, relaxing, paintballing, playing games - you name it, we probably did it! The best part was the kids had their own camps with their cousins in their age group. Plus we didn't have to do any cooking!
Hiking. Probably my all-time favorite activity.
Mike doing the ropes course. I tried, but ended up chickening out.

The scenery was spectacular. It was seriously like the Swiss Alps.

Let see, our family won the walleyball tournament, the tennis tournament, the raquetball tournement, and the badminton tournament. I guess it doesn't hurt that my brother-in-law, Brian, is a nationally ranked raquetball player. The poor suckers didn't know what hit them.
Mike and Brian, the badminton champions. In frustration, their opponent threw his racket in the air and got it stuck in a tree, haha.

I got hit smack in the forehead with a paintball. I'd have to say it did sting a bit. But I hit my Dad and brothers WAY more than I got hit.

Brayden was in seventh heaven being able to spend an entire week with his cousins. Brayden and his cousins, Kendall and Dylan actually held hands as the walked to church together.
The whole fam damily. Not one missing.
