Friday, August 5th and Saturday, August 6th found Garth and me and 4 of our children - Deren & Liz, Kerali, Trina and Guy & Marenda and Sam - and their children at the Skousen Family Camp south of Manti.
The main purpose was to find out if this would work for our 50th Anniversary celebration in 2012 but it was wonderful to have half of our family with us during this time.
Kerali took advantage of the time for an early birthday celebration for Trysten who turns 20 on the 23rd of this month. We all enjoyed a very chocolate cake and ice cream sandwiches.
Could Trysten be receiving a birthday "kiss" from Me Me Kalen? Taren and Mitchell are looking on
The rest of the pictures are pictures of the house and facility.
This picture was taken from the front door looking up at the loft that overlooks the living room area.
3rd level has just this loft area.
There are two queen sized beds in the loft but this area has no doors.
Looking from the loft down to the living room area and the front door.
2nd level or Main floor has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and this one bedroom.
This is the bedroom we stayed in. It was built after on part of the front deck/porch area. As you can see, it is just big enough or a queen sized bed and two small bedside tables.
The bottom level or basement has a game room, 2 small bedrooms and a bathroom.
I didn't get a picture of the 2nd bedroom.
One of the nicest things about the place is this Bunk House that was added later.
Inside of the bunk house looking from the door. This shows the bathroom and the door to the room in back
View of the bunk house from the opposite end showing the front doors. Each of the "bunks" has an extra mattress under it to be pulled out.
This is the room at the far end of the bunk house. It has two queen sized beds and has its own bathroom.
This is a view of the play area taken from the side road that goes up to the bunk house.
The little log cabin and the older trailer. We didn't use either of these facilities.
This bridge crosses a rather swift moving river to undeveloped property on the other side.
A view of the river in August. It will likely be higher in July.
In front of the house. The shade you see comes from the covered patio.
Another view of the house from the lawn side. I am thinking that we will move the table and use this as our stage area for the plays. (The little shed in back is just for equipment.)
Looking from the lawn area to the front of the house where the cars are parked.
By the front porch that goes up to the front door.
Vies of the house from the side you see first. The window is in the added on bedroom.
The "Evil Me Me" was waiting patiently for the older children to get their act together to get some filming done for the new version of "Crash Jordan".
I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOYED THE TOUR
