We are back and had a good time. The little kids had some emotional times but it we survived. We left later on Saturday because Casey was working on the van. It still isn't working. We drove up to Franklin basin. We were going to try to get to the ridge to watch the fireworks. Oliver kept feeling car sick so we didn't make it took far. We backpacked to a nice camping place. It wasn't that far and Oliver and Ruth were crying. We ended up carrying their backpacks. Their were a ton of mosquitoes so we hurried in the tent and told stories. Casey bought me a air mattress and I slept better. I couldn't find Tony in the morning. He wasn't far but I accidentally woke the kids up. So we packed up and decided to drop the backpacks off and just do day hikes. We drove up to a lake and then hiked up to the ridge line. We had a good time and it was so pretty there. We went to a snow patch and Ruth did want to go farther. So I waited with her. Tony didn't know who to go with so he kept running back and forth between the girls and boys. It was funny. We decided to go home and get some sleep and then head out again early this morning. It was nice to get some sleep in our beds. We got up early and headed up to hike but their was a race so we went to the park until the canyon opened up. We hiked to a waterfall but it had dried up for the summer. It was still pretty and we had a fun time. We cleaned up the camping stuff when we got home. The raspberries are on so I picked a bowl of them. It felt really nice to be out hiking. Overall we had a really nice time.
Love
