Hooray for the weekend!




In "Bill Cosby, Himself," he talks about how crazy we are for working our tails of during the week, only to be incredibly excited for the weekend. And then we go and kill ourselves having "fun" on our weekend. While we didn't quite kill ourselves, our weekend was full of everything a weekend should be.
The wet spring has turned Cache Valley into a green machine. Everywhere we go in the valley is lush and green. Makes it hard to convince everyone that we live in a desert. Our ward campout was at Cinnamon Creek, just upstream from Porcupine Reservoir on the south end of the valley. We had a great turnout from the ward and it was fun to get to know everyone a bit more. I also got to go fishing for the first time this year, courtesy of Eric and Andrea. (Thanks, guys) But was pretty much the worst fly fishing conditions. (Especially with a spinning rod) Returning to the camp, Krissey had the tent set up and ready to go, (with Andrea's help) what more could you ask for in a wife?


After inspecting Krissey's fine work, and finding the tent set up perfectly, we got a rousing game of Frisbee going on. Everyone should play 500 with at least 2 discs. The night concluding with Campfire songs and eating peach cobbler at midnight all courtesy of the Bishop.

Saturday morning, we woke up to shouts of "move your car" and ash falling from the sky. No, the forest wasn't on fire, but it was apparently spring clean up for the campground, and there isn't a better time than early Saturday morning to burn huge piles of brush. So we ate breakfast quick and took off.

Coming down the canyon I got word that a family needed moving. While I don't have pictures, (yet) let's just say if you have a piano and need it moved out of the upstairs...you better have a set of concrete or metal stairs to go down.

Thanks to Shawn and Emily, we're also professional disc golfers. So watch out all you pros out there with your fancy autographed disc drivers.



So basically, it was one awesome weekend. The End.
