At the beginning of August my sister's family made their annual summer vacation trip to visit my parents in Utah. I have always made a point to be in Utah during at least part of their visit, but with a new baby and still no job, a second summer trip to Utah was out of the question. So instead, they came to us, staying two nights at the campground at Rigby Lake. We didn't stay with them, but both days we went to spend some time with them.
Sophie was so excited to hold baby Atticus for the first time, and asked to hold him several more times in those two days.
Braylin was also excited to hold "Bibi Ah-tiss"
Netty was a little wary of Sierra at first, until she realized that Sierra could help her collect rocks.
Netty was mostly excited to see her HoneyGram. We see them fairly often, but each reunion is super sweet.
The campsite was right on the lake, so HoneyGram took Netty down to the water to play before dinner.
It had been years since I sat around a real fire pit in a campground.
We roasted hot dogs for dinner. Steph was a little less than excited to be camping. That nice trailer in the back...yeah, that belonged to the people in the next site over. My family camped in tents. And Steph is not a huge fan of camping.
Sierra enjoyed the hot dogs, despite the grit that the wind blew into them.
Jon was much happier than Steph to be there, but then he knew he was going to get to sleep in his own bed that night.
Netty's favorite part of dinner was the chips.
And the water. This little girl loves water.
HoneyGram couldn't wait to hold Atticus after a three-week absence.
We made s'mores and sang campfire songs.
Netty was mostly interested in the dirt and rocks, and spent most of the evening running around and collecting "treasures."
And sometimes eating them.
By the end of the night Netty liked Sierra enough to sit on her lap.
Even though she's still HoneyGram's girl.
