Fern Canyon is a beautiful canyon that is covered in ferns. Pretty straight forward. (Aaron is very into logical thinking lately and he would say, because he does this with everything, "It's a canyon and it's ferns. That's why it's Fern Canyon." Oh, okay.) Regardless, it is a beautiful place and had a big screen showing in "Jurassic Park". Dad's leg was hurting so he stayed at the car and read his book. The other 16 of us set out on the short hike through the little piece of heaven on earth.
We rode with the Claycamps to our destination. Emily is such a cutie.
The ride to the canyon is a bit long. Luckily Livi could chat with Logan. They had a good time.
I couldn't resist this picture. I thought it was cute how Garrett and Ryan were letting the babies on their backs talk/see eachother. After I took the picture I laughed. It looked as if the dads were going to kiss!
Aaron loves his Uncle Adam
Me, Angie and Gretchen. We have to take a picture of the sisters.
Ta DA!
Gee and Aaron (Ryan in the background with Chase in the pack)
Cody, Aunt Kristi, Logan, Uncle Garrett, Emily, Livi, Aaron, Chandler
This is Chandler, but all the 3 older boys were very excited to take this leap. The picture does not do it justice. It was a rather high jump. I definitely would not have done it.
Angie and I, thanks to the other adults for taking my kids, decided to try a different route on the way back. It followed the canyon floor, just higher in the canopy of evergreens. We got to the floor a bit ahead of our group and tried to scare them but didn't quite pull it off.
Don't I have good lookin' brothers?!
The canyon sits just inland of a great beach. It was a little bit of a walk where at times we had to trudge lightly around the mud holes, Aaron just walked right through them, oh well, but we finally made it to the beach.
Ohhh Aaron. You've just gotta love him.
This is the Claycamp's first ever attempt at a human pyramid. I'd say we did pretty good for none of the kids having the slightest clue what we were doing to them.
Top left to bottom right: Ethan, Olivia, Aaron, Logan Cody, Evan, Chandler, Adam, Angie, Ryan, Rachel, Garrett, Chase, Emily.
All because two people fell in love!!! Thanks Mom and Dad.
And of course, what good would a day on the beach be if you didn't bury someone in the sand?!
Volunteers anyone?
What better way than to end the day back at camp crackin' crab legs with Papa.
(Cody, Papa, Adam, Chandler, Livi and Logan)
