This past weekend we went to Boise for my Aunt Ginny's funeral. The funeral was really good. It was great to see family that I haven't seen in awhile and also meet some family that I didn't know existed. After the funeral all of my immediate family came back to my parent's house and we had a big bbq, built a big fire, roasted marshmallows and played outside. I am loving this weather! Graypa also decided that he would spend the night with all of the grandkids in a tent in his backyard. Graypa also recruited Tom and my brother, Scott, to join him. So, the boys set up 2 tents and the gear for the kids. The kids were sooooo excited! There ended up being 8 kids minus Justin, Hannah and Lily. Before the campers went into their tents for the night we had a group prayer. 4 of the campers said the prayers and it was cute to hear some of the thing they prayed for. It included: "Please help the racoons, bugs, insects, and bears not to get us." "We are grateful for this beautiful night." "Please help the fire not to burn us." "Please bless all of the campers." "Please bless Pres. Hinckley and Heavenly Father and Jesus in heaven." etc. That is all I can remember right now. They were so sincere in their prayers. It was cute to hear what they were concerned about. Tom and Scotty slept outside of the tent doors just in case any of the kids needed help. It was a rough night...a really rough night for Scott, Tom and Graypa. I slept great. I had a whole king size bed to myself and a dark basement. That was a first for me. When everyone woke up in the morning Grayma and Graypa made pancakes. The kids LOVED it! I think the kids will remember that night for a very long time, if not forever. It's all about the memories.
