RESS Retreat 2011!

We have created lots of wonderful memories through the years during our time at RESS Retreat(Derric's family's annual get-together). The kids look forward to it every year and they are getting to the such a fun age where they can just run off and play with their cousins. This year we went to the Palisades and stayed at a campsite right next to the Manti Temple. We like to call it Mosquito Camp! There were so many mosquitoes that we all stayed lathered in DEET and still the kids all went home looking like they had chicken pox! It was hot but there was always a rain storm around the corner with fierce winds. So we would be stuck in our tents instead of out playing games. But there were plenty of moments that we were able to be out chatting, playing horse shoes, swimming in the lake(huge pond), digging in the dirt, riding bikes, eating, taking a wagon ride, doing arts n crafts and more! It was definitely another successful year at RESS and we made lots of memories to last us forever!
