Memorial Day Fun


We had our annual Venable family Memorial Day camping trip. This year, due to the snow and the dead trees in the Uintahs, we went to Strawberry Reservoir. There was a great turnout. In all, we had 10 trailers and 3 tents, with over 45 people. The weather turned out to be pretty good-better than we expected. It was still cold at night, getting down to a mere 23 degrees! Jennie, Jon, Riley and Trace were champs and braved the cold. I understand they even slept some! There was a lot of fishing, shooting guns and my personal favorite, four wheeling. 

Here are some random pictures. 


Riley learned to cast and caught 3 fish.


Jon, just hanging out.


Kambri and Aubree-the Two Musketeers


Easton's first camping trip. He did great. Doesn't he look so cute in his special hat?


Me, with my cute new gloves. Love them!


Josh's bike, stuck in the snow. Intentionally, of course.


Cute little family.


First ride. 


Trace, master whittler. He made his own marshmallow roasting stick.


The girls, posing pretty.


Jennie and Cash. His poor face was scratched before they even left the house. 


Cousins. They love Cash and Cash loves them.




Nate, cooking up some dutch oven potatoes, chicken, and cobbler. Excellent dinner!


Josh and Cash. It was pretty hard to get a picture of Josh. He doesn't sit still very long....


Riley, Nate, Karlee and Jill on a ride. I think they're probably waiting while someone gets un-stuck.


Jessi. There's also a shortage of pictures of Jessi. She's always behind the camera.


Jessi and Riley




Jill and Cash. One of my favorite pictures!


Karlee, Easton, Aubree, Jill, Cash, and Kambri. Going for a walk. 


Jessi and the girls.



Me with a few of my kids.


Why? 
(My favorite Cheetos)


Randy and Easton


Easton, again. He's so darn happy that we just had to keep taking pictures!

 Great family weekend!

Marmie maybe next time you can find me some Cheetos that will lead me to a treasure of some sort ... even if that treasure is just a ginormous bag of Cheetos.

Oh, and camping was FUN!
