July 24th at Heber Valley Camp!

Pioneer Day was so much fun this year! The whole Clegg side of the family went up to Heber Valley Camp. It is absolutley beautiful there! It is owned by the church and run by senior missionaries. Everything is so well taken care of and clean! My great in-laws rented out 3 cabins in this little cove area. It had an area for cooking and even a refrigerator we could use. Plus the bathrooms were right down the road.(That is my idea of camping!)

There is a little lake there where you can get in a canoe or a paddle boat and just row around it. The wildlife there is amazing. There were deer all over. And they weren't scared by humans. While rowing around the lake there would be deer just laying on the side in the grass. You could seriously make eye contact with them! The setting was absolutley gorgeous! We also did some rope courses while we there.(Ya know, the courses where you challenge yourself and there is a lesson to go along with it.) Those were fun doing together with the family. The first one we did was the rope swing. It freaked the crap out of me! They put you in a harness, pull you up high, and then let you go. I'm super scared of heights, so I'm not into the free falling thing, but I tried to conquer my fear,(key word is tried) and went on it. It was, um, fun. They even put the little kids on it and just let them swing around.

Anyway, if you all are wondering where to go camping where it is high in the mountains, you are surrounded by wildlife, and you have flushing toilets and cabins to sleep in, Heber Valley Camp is where you should go! It was so fun, and I can't wait to go next year! Here are some pics.....................

In the boats







This deer was there both of the days we were. It seriously would just sit there. We got so close to it. These animals are so beautiful to me!

They had a huge sandbox for the kids to play in at the lake. They were more happy playing in the sand than doing anything else!

Grace, Kassi, Hailey, and Eme. Such cute cousins!

The first pic is of Kassi on one of the rope courses. She was pretty nervous about the whole thing. Then, I don't know if you can see it very well, but these are pics of Kassi, Brad, and me on the rope swing. It was a lot higher than it looks!
