Camping at Thousand Trails

Just got back from going camping at thousand trails. We went with the Conrads and yes there were no men there and we survived! 2 adults and 9 kids. The first day we all went swimming, didn't think the power would go out and couldn't swim the other days so, no pics of that. They loved that part though. There were other things to do like golfing, face painting, craft time(which was lame), noodle fights, fingernails or makeup for the girls, games, camp fires.... you know there are lots of things to do. Andrew and Connor rode there bike all the time. I'm sure susie will be more detailed on everthing. We had a good time. I would have put more pics on but my patience for wait is small right now.

Sam's all girl friendship party!

sam had a friendship party. They played games, made friendship braclets and had water balloon fights. It was pretty low key but it seemed they had fun.

I was getting complaints about not doing anything on my blog. so...... here is our typical morning at the mcbride house. this is about 6:45 in the morning. someday i'll get julie to sleep on her bed! nikki just waking up

Sam trying not to miss the bus

And connor doing his do. what a stud!

ahhhhh!!!!!Connor loves my bike! maybe ben will buy me a bigger HUH?

We had a really good time with our trip. The kids got along with there cousins really well. I think the best part of the trip was Confrence, Connor and Sam went with us to see the Prophet.

This is the fun center. There were bounce houses, jungle gyms, rollerskating and video games

Julie had so much fun on the slides

we took the train to the Temple Square. that was fun. we also took it when we went to conference on sat. saved a lot of headache!

this was right after we watched the Joseph Smith movie.
