Nettesheim Camping- Flaming Gorge
We went to Firefighter Memorial Campground, Flaming Gorge, by the Green River. We all got in and set up camp pretty late Thursday night.
Friday morning we realized that our awesome new camp stove had the wrong propane hook up … that made making breakfast for us and Pete and Matts families a bit tough. We ended up borrowing from a scout group! Then we went RAFTING all day!!
We had so much fun on the boats. Mom and Dad and Emilys family met us for rafting. The river was pretty chill but good. We had fun trying to figure out paddling and steering. There were a couple spots we got stuck on. One bad spot that Mom and Dads boat almost tipped over. Amanda and Matt fell out and they were highcentered for a bit BUT Becker and the rest stayed in the boat!
Back at camp we hammocked and made dinner. Packer got a bite on his eye and we enjoyed our cousin time. The only inconvenience was that they closed the bathrooms! We had to go to the bathroom in the wilderness the rest of the time! Netty camping was a blast.
Happy 18th Birthday BENJI
Our baby boy is 18! That’s a full grown kid – adult! We had a fun day celebrating. He got a mix of fun and pre mission gifts. His friends came over for a few hours and had cake and ice cream and he of course had to finish his cake under the table 🙂 And then, like most Benji bdays – we spent the evening in the car going camping!
It has been a joy to raise this kid. He is smart and kind. He is a hard worker and a good friend. We are so excited for his future!
