We enjoyed a nice Labor Day weekend with some of our Ward families in the cool pines of Pivot Rock Canyon camping. There were about 10 families who came and we all enjoyed playing and visiting in the coolness of northern Arizona. It did get a little warm in the afternoons but at least it was not 110! We took two tents. Why you ask? Well it was just by chance that Carl threw the backpack tent in the truck at the last minute. Good Thing! We started to set up the full size tent that sleeps 3 or 4 people when we discovered that the ring for staking the poles was missing. That's what happens when you loan out your camping stuff to your kids! Carl was aware that it was loose the last time he used it but I guess when Doug took it last it came completely off and he forgot to tell us. I'm glad that Carl had the thought to throw in the smaller tent. We had a nice air mattress that filled the whole inside but it was the most comfortable night's sleep that I've had in a tent! Yes I did take a nap in my nice recliner camp chair. How can you resist grabbing a snooze with the nice cool breeze and the sound of birds. It was so fun to share the area with our Ward friends. We shared movies, treats and even had our own Testimony Meeting on Sunday morning. It was wonderful! We really hate to get back to the heat and back to work. At least it is a short work week!
Correction! The ring on the tent had broken the last time Doug and I used it and Doug fixed it. Hannah subsequently borrowed it and it must have come off when she used it. Of course, she wasn't aware that it had broken and been repaired.
