Simpson Springs

My Mom & Dad along with some really good family friends: Uncle Master Leroy & Jane Horrocks, went camping at Simpson Springs for my Mom's birthday. My sister Liz had the idea to drive out there and surprise them! We woke up early on the first Saturday of the month, Ryan & I met Liz, Brent & Brinley in Layton- drove to SL to pick up my sister Becky. Then to Schmidt's Bakery for the carrot cake & sugar cookies and then finally... off to Simpson Springs! Alicia wanted to go but she was in Arizona with her dad's parents exploring their new winter home (One day, I too shall have a summer & winter home!!).

Here are some pics of our short but fun visit.

Grandma catching bubbles for Brinley.

Ryan & I went hiking and he found a set of antlers. They cannot be sanitary.

Its nappy nap time.

"Uncle Master Leroy" got his name from Liz. She was about 3 or 4 or so.... I think the first time she called him that was when we were camping in the Uintahs. No one knows why she thought of that- kids just say the funniest things sometimes. Well, It has stuck and we have called him that ever since. He has been an awesome friend to my parents and we have grown up with their family. I really do think of the Horrocks' like family. Mental note- find old pics & do a Horrock's post. Lots of great memories!

Brinley was great! She had a lot of fun finding rocks & sticks, throwing the ball to everyone & chasing bubbles. Overall- it was a fabulous Saturday. :)
