Heather and Justin Camping With Us

Yes...we had a fun week with Heather and Justin camping in our trailer up to Prescott. When we arrived it was raining...as you can tell Heather and Justin were sad! But it cleared and the rest of the week was nice. If you look at the top of the one picture you can see Heather and Justin at the top of the mountain waving. Scary! We hiked, paddle boated (Heather and Justin had to tow our boat back because it broke), ate smores and just had fun!

Emily is a sweetie and Grandpa John and I really enjoyed having her over. She is one beautiful and fun grandaughter! This coming week we will have Justin and Heather! Yeah!!!
