Family Fun.

So here we goooooo! Munk Family Fun! Yeah! I said I would share and here it is. The above picture shows midMan with my biggest competition, in this world, when it comes to midMan's attention in the mountains. You decide if that is the Grizzly 4-Wheeler or his brother. Man, did they have a blast and we got to see lots of critters.

These 8 Antelope, 1 male in the lead, 3 ladies, and 4 babies would grace us each day with their presence just right outside our camp. Are they not beautiful? One mom even fed her babies right in front of us. This so amazed us because usually when we see antelope they are about 200 yards away and running about 55 miles per hour, directly away from us. Just believe me when I say, 'This is amazing!'

Here's midMan holding up the remains of his fish. See, I told ya mine was bigger. He was so jealous. heeheehee

tailEnd and Haygen getting ready for a ride on our smaller 4-wheeler.



Grandma and Grandpa had a great time sitting around when they weren't fishing. They stayed up with us the whole week. We even managed to get them both on the wheelers for a few rides. It was really great to get some good quality time with them. It seems that life has been so hectic lately we haven't had a chance to catch up with them. They also retired a year ago and have been going non stop since.



Here's Jeff, one of midMan's brothers, and his wife Lesty, who both happen to be Haygens mom and dad. They came up for a couple of days and we had nothing but fun. Jeff and midMan got to have some real fun looking for mule deer and Lesty and I got to have some really good visits. When we all decided to branch out away from St. George we lost a lot of the time we had to spend together, so any time that we have together we try to cram in a lot of visiting and catching up on each others lives. Oh and Lesty spent the whole weekend with her hand in front of her face trying not to get her picture taken, haha it didn't work to well for her did it!?



Here is our oldest son and his wife. They decided to take a break from college and join us for a couple of nights.


Here's the middle son, Dayton. He came up for a couple of hours in the middle of the week. It was great to see him for a bit, but I was really thankful that he was at home taking care of our house and our little bit of a garden. He did so good we came home to lots of tomato's, quite a few jalapenos and one zucchini ( truth be told if that's the only zucchini we get I will forever swear off of growing a garden).


Last, but definitely not least, here's tailEnd trying his hand at spelunking. There is this cave close to where we were camping and he just begged us to let him go down. It's actually an old lava tube, called Mammoth Cave. He explored it when he was in 5th grade and really wanted to check it out better. I didn't want to nor did Grandma. We just waited up top and were completely surprised when he showed up coming from a totally different direction.


As you can all see and read we had a great time. I just wish it could have lasted longer. Although longer without a shower would not have been fun. I hope you all enjoy the trip with us. Maybe next time I will be better with the camera, there is always hope, right?

Love to All,

midRae

  2. That looks like a blast! We have five kids, four of whom are six and under. So, camping with them just sounds like a lot of work.:) I wonder how my parents do it with us? (there was four of us).
