Palisades State Park Camping Weekend

We went camping at Palisades State Park this past weekend, it is about 5 miles past Manti. It was with Tyler's whole Fankhauser family. It was a lot of fun and really nice. They have a group campsite that you can reserve and you have your own covered pavillion and a big grassy area for kids to play on. We got there at about 5:30 on Friday. Karson was exctied to find that there was a lake right by us and he could throw all the rocks he wanted into the water.
Nick and Amanda brought thier dog Shelby's pin, and the kids thought it was pretty cool to play in as well. Karson loved to play with is cars inside the pin. And it was nice because we knew where he was when he was in there. We had a yummy dutch oven dinner Friday night that Kay and Larry made, dutch oven potatoes, chicken and a peach cobbler for dessert! It was all delicious! The stars were so pretty on Friday night, Karson thought they were pretty cool.

Saturday morning the guys went golfing and the girls hung out with the kids, Gma and Gpa Fankhauser rented this paddle boat for all to use. At first Karson wasn't too sure about going on it, but then he decided to go and thought it was pretty cool! I didn't peddle it but everyone that did said it was a KILLER leg work out. When Ty got back from golfing we drove into Manti hoping Kars would sleep of course he was too distratcted by all of the cows and horses on the side of the roads. We found a little drive thru ice cream place, and honestly waited about 25 minutes for our shakes, but it was kind of worth the wait, they were SO good! I got chocolate raspberry and Ty got chocolate banana.

Saturday night we all played a big game of Bingo, everyone brings prizes and the bingo playing begins. I didn't play because I was actually taking a quick nap in the tent, as I slept like crap on Friday night. I honestly think I got up to go to the bathroom 5 times. When I am just laying there and can't go to sleep, I get nervous and then I have to go to the bathroom. Any way we had a big dinner that night with everyone and hung out and chatted. Kars had a lot of fun playing with the other kids there, Logan, Stockton and Kyleigha.

This is Karson and his Great Grandma Fankhauser. Karson has bonded with her and her husband Don, his great Grandpa. He loves being with them, they took him into thier trailer and he thought that was pretty cool. I am glad Karson is such a loving kid and loves everyone around him. At different times camping, he would just go around and hug everyone who was sitting around him that he knew. He is such a sweet kid and I am so lucky to be his mom! Karson also got to go on a long walk with Papa Larry and Miski, Karson wore them out, as he wanted to go around the whole lake! He loves being around all the people that love him! We of course missed Kaili, but next year we plan on having her for this camping adventure!
