Grey's River

July is home to the annual Grey's River trip! Gramp & Gram D, mom & dad D, and Brian's siblings and their familes all look forward to the trip each year! Last year I was a rookie and this year I was "seasoned." B & I purchased an old "Road Ranger" camp trailer this summer and Grey's River was it's first REAL adventure. It held up great through the occasional rain and kept us nice and warm at night (A LOT warmer than the tent trailer)!

Here are some of my favorite Grey's River moments 2007!




What's a camping trip without a few four-wheeler rides! With the Rhino (and it's extra seating...thanks to dad D) and 2 four-wheelers, there was fun for EVERYONE!


Last year was the first year the D family floated the river. It was such a hit, I think it's a new tradition! This year the water was a bit lower and COLDER, but it didn't stop us!




Fire's weren't allowed this year because it was too dry. This really changed the way we camped! Of course we had to have s'mores though...so we roasted over the stove!






Story time, jump time, and...............



NAP TIME!!!

SUMMER = CAR SHOW

Each summer our fabulous city hosts a car show. 100's of old cars travel from all over the nation and park at the fair grounds for 2 days then participate in a "parade." I have ALWAYS LOVED the car show! Since I married into a family who happens to have a restored 1968 Chevelle SS in the show, I get to actually partipate in some of the activities. These pictures are from the "poker run" up the canyon.
