PALISADE STATE PARK

Last week we loaded up the trailer and headed to Palisade State Park near Manti. We had so much fun. I took so many pictures that I had to pick a few of each thing that we did. So just scroll down and enjoy!!!
First off, the kids sat every morning on our bed and spied on everybody in the camp spots next to us. They even made up names for the people. It was hilarious to listen to their conversation as they were spying.




The kids loved going on bike rides around the lake.


The kids played in the water almost the whole time we were there. I was a little nervouse, but they wore their life jackets. Their favorite thing was to swim out to the dock and jump off.





One day we rented one of these paddle boats. The kids had a blast. J. made an anchor out of the chain on the side and a stick. J. and dad did most of the peddling. E. pretended she was Captain Sig on the Deadliest Catch and she was on the hunt for crab. Her favorite line "Get to work or your fired."




For Father's Day and Jason's birthday we got him a kyake. The kids had fun going for rides around the lake. J. and E. really like to use the oars.


Of course one of the best things about camping is Smores. We couldn't have a fire, so we used the coals from the volcano to cook our marshmellows. They were delicious. Grandma and Grandpa Combes came and golfed with us and Grandma brought huge marshmellows. They were so good.

The kids spent many hours in the water trying to catch minnows. They final count before dumping them back in the lake was 19.

Of course, we spent some time golfing. The course was beautiful. It's amazing how they could make an 18 whole golf course through a canyon.
