Payson Canyon

A few Saturday's ago, my mom and Steve planned a little family outing for everyone. We left right after Will's practice and drove down to Payson. Steve told us it was about ten miles up the canyon. So, we started at the bottom and headed up to meet them. They said their car would be easily to spot off the side of the road. Well, after driving almost fifteen miles up and not seeing a dang thing, we decided to drive back down, thinking surely we must have missed them. That didn't work, so we headed back up. We were getting so frustrated! I kept trying to call both of their cell phones, but we couldn't get anyone to answer. Finally, I noticed I had a voice mail, and it was Steve. He said it was actually about twenty miles up, and that my mom would be waiting off the road for us.

So, we finally found them! We were about ready to head to Nephi and eat dinner there.

We decided to take the four wheelers for a little spin before it got dark. It was a lot of fun. Max and Ben kept telling me to go faster and faster. The kids loved it!



Steve made the most delicious dinner for us.



Ben helped make the cherry chocolate cake. Well, he helped lick the spoon.




Mostly everyone participated in the egg toss. Even my 84 year old grandpa. Then, the kids turned the eggs on the cows that were grazing nearby.



We had a roast filled with crab meat and covered in sauteed mushrooms and peppers...



and delicious cheesy potatoes. Everything tasted so good.



After dinner we sat at the camp fire and roasted marshmallows and made smores. We also ate our cherry chocolate cake. As always with my mom and Steve, they are never short on food. Everyone was so stuffed!

Steve entertained everyone by telling some scary stories around the camp fire. They also entertained us by their lovely jump suits.

Thanks Mom and Steve, we had a wonderful time!
