Big Rock Candy Mountain!

We went to Big Rock Candy Mountain for our annual "Dodd Reunion" over Memorial Day weekend. We ended up staying in a different place this year. Usually we camp in the trailer, but this time we stayed in a cabin. UPGRADE!!!! It was a lot of fun, and we did some exciting stuff!

When we first got there, we went to unload our food and realized that between all of us we had 14 bags of chips!!! We had two entire laundry baskets full of snacks! I thought Anna was in charge of bringing the snacks, and I figured I better bring some extra just in case she didn't realize how much we were going to eat. Well, I should have known better...my Mom brought snacks, Jessica brought snacks, Krista brought snacks lol! You get the idea. The best part of the whole thing was that when we went to pack up there was only about 3 bags of chips left over! We know how to eat!




The second day of the trip we decided to go river rafting. It was our second time, but Zak and Carlee's first time. We had a great time. Nobody fell out of the raft this year! Our guide was named Stony and he had a crush on Anna. He kept talking about how cool she was. (If he only knew...) Zak and Carlee both enjoyed it. Zak actually almost fell asleep on the boat. I think the water must have made him tired.



On Sunday everybody spent a lot of time riding 4-wheelers and motorcycles. Grandma bought the boys Nerf guns and play-doh. The girls got a baby doll and fake cell phones. The kids played a bunch and had fun with their cousins.
Richard's birthday was a few days earlier (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!) so after dinner we had cake and sang. That night we played some Mafia and huddled around the fire.






It was a fun weekend. I think my favorite part was just hanging around the cabin in the awesome weather. It ended up raining a little bit and it wasn't super hot. Carlee liked roasting marshmellows and playing with Ruby. Zak had fun rafting and playing Mario Brothers with Porter. We had such a good time and I can't wait for next year.
