Rylie & Old Ephraim

 For school, Rylie had to complete a book report.  The book had to be on a legend and she was able to pick her own book.  She has been very interested in Old Ephraim, so that is what she wanted to read about.  She read "Old Ephraim Chronicles."  Once she had read the book, she had to find a visual to go with the report.  That is when we decided to take her up to Old Ephraim's grave to take pictures.  Ryan, Rylie, and Sydnie, and some friends, rode the 4 wheelers up Logan Canyon....what a fun way to explore books!!

How Can You Say "No"

 Who could say "No" to these faces!!  Hallie, Remie, and London, on our last camping up Blacksmith Fork Canyon.

Some Pondering Thoughts while Camping

We were fortunate enough to spend the weekend up Blacksmith Fork Canyon with our dear friends, the Monson's. (June 28th - July 1st)  We went up with our trailer Thursday night, and the Monson's came up Friday.  It is kind of nice to be close enough to town, yet far enough away at the same time.  The weather was great and the kids had a great time playing with their friends.  One night I woke up and had some pondering thoughts......

1.  The "Barfuss Curse" may not be associated with this side of the Barfuss family, it must be associated with someone else in Ryan's family...there was not one drop of rain, anywhere.  Not even a cloud to speak of!  It was the complete opposite, 90+ degrees.  The joke in our neighborhood is, is if you want it to rain, send the Barfuss' camping.  The sad part is....we really could of used the rain, at least a little bit!

2.  If the propane is going to run out, it will during the night.  I don't think we have ever ran out of propane during the day.

3.  Last but not least, air conditioning is a WONDERFUL thing!!! 

Thanks Scott and Lindasue for a fun weekend!!!
