Camping in Mantua

Each year my family on my moms side goes on a camping trip. We either go up towards Bear Lake or Mantua. This years obvious winner was Mantua. I love it there! Riding 4-wheelers is one of our families favorite past times. The trails up there are amazing. You can ride for hours. There's no better view than from inspiration point at the top of Willard Peak! We always have so much fun whenever we go. Dan, the kids and I only went up for one day:( We brought along our neighbors to enjoy in our family fun. The kids definately got dirty, but that wast to be expected

Mayci absolutely loved being in this backpack! Dan would walk around with her attached to his back like a mom and baby gorilla:) He took her for a ride on Shawn's mountain bike and you would have thought we handed her a million bucks. I love how the little things in life make for the biggest smiles on kids faces.

Haha...this picture cracks me up. Shawn and Dan were sent to get some fire wood. When they got back I told them to pose for a picture. I had no idea that Chris, also our neighbor and is married to Natalie, was being retarded behind them. Shawn and Dan are trying real hard to make a great picture and Chris goes and does this. Great picture guys...lol:)

Payton is a bike riding fool! He could do it for hours and never get tired of it. We brought along his bike, actually Carters bike since he's grown out of his, so that he could have some fun.

Not sure who the imaginary person is in the stroller, but the kids sure did love pushing him/her around.

Carter was our little helper up at camp. She spent most of her time on the hammock with one kid or the other. She's going to be a great big sister:)

Carter found these huge leaves up camping. I hope they're safe! Anyways, the kids loved playing with them. She put them up to her ears trying to imitate an elephant.

Monkey see, monkey do. Emmitt also trying to look like an elephant.
