Witches Nigth Out 2012

Witches Night Out at Gardner Village 2012









Carter Family Camp 2012 Lodgepole

We went up to Lodgepole Campground over Labor Day weekend for the Carter Camping trip. 

 Tanner, Carter and Jace are the best of friends.  The did everything together but especially loved having air soft wars!

 Zack hung out with the Kinnedi and Cali for awhile but soon Zack was no where to be found.  I went looking around and found him in our tent.  When I asked what was wrong he said "I am tired!  Those girls wear me out!!"  It was quite funny!

 Tyson fell and got a cut on his nose!  Poor kid always gets hurt camping.
 We turned on Bob the Builder in Jessica's motorhome for Tyson but Addy soon zoned in too!

 Justin took Zack and Tyson fishing to get a break from all the little girls.  Poor Zack was just to young to do the airsoft wars with the big boys!

McConkie Ranch (Indian Petroglyphs)

 Recently I found out that just down the road about 5 miles from our home is one of the biggest collections of Indian Petroglyphs.  The land is all private, but the land owners allow access onto the land and have nice developed trails and signs all along the way. 
 The parking lot was lined with old elk and deer antlers and had a bathroom and little shack with water in a fridge.  They go off the honor system and ask for $2 donation per car and $1 per water.
 There were two different trails/loops  to take and from end to end of each loop was maybe a mile or more.  We took a bunch of pictures so here are some of our favorites.

UFO crop circles?




 Below is the famous 3 kings panel.  It took us a minute to find them on the mountain side since they are way up high on the cliff.  The picture below is looking right at them.
 These are the 3 kings zoomed in a bit.
 And finally zoomed in more for a close up.  These kings are life sized but you can't tell until you zoom way in on them.  These were by far our favorites.
