The white speck you see on the mountain is my brother Colton. It is a lot steeper than you
think. The climb down was a beast.
I love this kid. He is prepping for a mission.I am so proud of my brother Colton.

My husband. (Head shaking.)Words can not express what
a special person he is.
Every year, the Swanson side of my family (my dad's mom's family) has a campout at my Uncle Junior's property up Black Smith Fork Canyon. It is the only time we get to camp since I did not marry a camper. Justin's idea of roughing it is staying at a Motel 6. So sad. Anyway, I look forward to this every year. This year we took up the 4 wheelers and went up on Friday and camped through Sunday. Friday night we set up camp and made dinner and just hung out. Broc burnt his finger on a lanter and ended up with a huge blister. Then the rain came. It rained all night. Luckily we slept in a trailer. By Saturday morning, it had stopped raining and it was just cold. We drove into Logan to get a portable dvd player for Broc. (He is like his dad and has to have a show to fall asleep. I didn't want a repeat performance of Friday night in getting to sleep). We got back and Justin took the 4 wheeler out and tried to climb a hill where he ended up sliding into a tree. Nothing too major at that point. Later that afternoon, the rest of the extended family began showing up. The kids were bored so they all watched a movie in our trailer. Once that was over, there were enough kids that they could start making their boats for the boat races. Broc colored a flag for his boat but in the end tore his flag off and wanted to go play with Justin on the 4 wheeler. He is all boy. The kids raced boats, we made dinner and then it was time for some karaoke. The kids all loved it. The girls would sing as the boys break danced. It was fun to watch. Broc even had his singing debut. He sang Old McDonald Had a Farm with his cousin Makell. It was the funniest thing to watch. He called my sister Holli up to sing with him and when he would do an animal sound would turn to her and say "give me five" oh how I LOVE my little boy. Sunday we got up, had breakfast and began getting ready to go home. Justin took the kids for a ride on the 4 wheeler and then took off and went for a ride just him. He came back after about a half hour and I thought nothing of it until he did his "Hi babe" in a I just did something stupid tone. I couldn't figure out what he did until my brother looked at the 4 wheeler and saw the blood. Justin is a moron and tried something dumb again and rolled a couple of times, hit his head and tore up his arm. I was so mad at him for not thinking. I kind of like having him around. He has since decided that we are investing in helmets for us and not just for Broc and we will use them. All in all, it was a good weekend minus the burn and accident. I have a great family and I am so glad I get to spend time with them. After all, family is what life it all about.
On a side not, I ran out of memory on my camera so I didn't get the best part of his performance. You can get the idea of it though. Oh how I love my little boy.
