Team Ostler: Camping at Granite Flats

Camping at Granite Flats

We went camping at Granite Flats while we were in Utah. It was so much fun to be in the outdoors. The kids had a blast and got soooo dirty. They loved it! There was a stream right by one of our campgrounds (unfortunately, it was by Craig and Sandy's campground) and it was really pretty. We tried to make it 3 nights but we only ended up staying 2 nights. The night before we went home I got burned on my neck. A charcoal piece from out campfire popped up and just happened to land right on the back of my neck. It gave me a pretty good 2nd degree burn, but luckily it healed up pretty fast. Although, it made for an uncomfortable night sleep in the tent.

There was a little bridge by our campsite and the boys had so much fun playing 3 Billy Goats Gruff. They loved taking turns being the mean troll under the bridge.

Ben played hard and was pretty much worn out by 8 o'clock every night. He was always the last one up at the campsite.

Funny Things Kids Say

We were at church and during the sacrament I was talking to Luke about Jesus. I told him that Jesus bled and died for us. Luke looked at me with a very concerned look and said, "Did Heavenly Father give Jesus a band-aid when he was bleeding?"

We were about to walk out the door so I told Luke to go potty. He came out of the bathroom saying, "I can't go! The batteries in my pee pee are dead!"

After Ben finished a big meal he said, "my tummy is so big and full I look like Grandpa now!" (sorry dad).

Ben pointed to a picture of the prophet and said, "That's President Monckley!"

We have a saying in our house. It's "you get what you get and you don't throw a fit!" But Ben has his own version of this. He says "you get what you WANT and you don't throw a fit!"

Jimmy said that he is allergic to babies. I asked him how he knew and he said that he gets sick when he smells them.

Ben asked me for another piece of halloween candy and I said, "Mommy is ready for the halloween candy to be gone" and Ben said, "Yea, gone in my mouth!"

We were driving past the gas station sign and Ben said, "I see a lowercase 5 on that sign."

I was talking to Jimmy about election day and asking him if his teacher voted and he said that she was "absent" that day. (I finally realized what he meant. She had just mailed in an absentee ballot.)

Ben put a whole bunch of toilet paper in the garbage and I told him that is a no, no. He said, "no it's a yes, yes!"

I tell Jimmy on a regular basis that needs to talk nicely. He yelled something across the room to me and I gave him the look that said I didn't like the tone of his voice and he said, "I was yelling nicely!"

Jimmy and I are listening to "Give Said the Little Stream" and Jimmy says "How does it talk?" I said "How does what talk?" He said, "The stream, it doesn't have a mouth, how can it talk?"
