Thank goodness they called us up and asked if we wanted to go on a picnic up Farmington Canyon on Saturday (7-5-08). This will give us a chance to take a camping test!
This is Justin hunting for roasting sticks!
Richard and Kaden taking a rest from setting "booby-traps" for
the people driving 4 wheelers.

They both look so enthused.

This is just a small dose of what's to come.

The kids on the way home with ALL the windows open. Maybe we can blow a little dust off them before we get home.
So, I think the kids passed the camping test! They were all dirty from head to toe but, that's part of the whole camping experience. They had the best time with Hanna, Richard, and each other.
I don't know if we did though. We had the cops called on us, we are such delinquents.
So here's how it went down...
We just got there after driving up the little goat road, we found a spot, and we where getting the food out. We noticed a green Explorer with a "Red-neck" woman (that's what Justin called her) going past for the 4th time. When she came back again she stopped and started ragging on us and asking us if we payed for our spot. She was rude from the beginning, so our friend Chris being the to-the-point man that he is, basically told her to get off our back and move along.
I sent Justin to pay for a day pass so if she came back, we could say we paid.
A couple hours later we decided to go up a little further so we cleaned up and was heading out of the camp. When all of a sudden a Sheriff vehicle came blazing up the road and came to a halt in front of the Taggart truck. They asked him to get out and hand over the keys. When Chris and Jaime asked what was wrong the Sheriff said, "Oh, you know what you did!"
So one guy questioned them and the other came and questioned us.
Come to find out the "red-neck" lady worked for the Forest Service and she called them because we where committing "theft of service".
She didn't take the time to be polite, address who she was, and use a little people skills to get her job done.
The officers let us go after we showed them our receipt and told our side of the story.
Long story short, YOU CAN CATCH FLIES FASTER WITH HONEY, THAN YOU CAN WITH VINEGAR!
