Labor Day Camping

Labor Day weekend we had plans to meet up with the Dillons for camping at Deer Creek reservoir and Swiss Days in Midway.  Our weekend got a little interrupted as we learned the week before that Dee Belcher passed away.  He had gotten liver cancer and it took him quickly.  So we got to Deer Creek Friday evening after stopping to check out Swiss Days.  And Saturday we left the older kids with the Dillons and took the younger ones with us to Dee's Funeral and a luncheon with the Family.

The funeral was really nice and it was good to be there to support and visit with Brad and Candace.  It all came so quickly it's hard to believe he is gone.  Dee was a ray of sunshine.  He and Michelle were so great to take in LeGrand and let him live with them after his mission.  We are so grateful for the memories we have of Dee.

Sunday we hung out at camp while the boys went fishing.  We walked down to the reservoir and let the kids throw rocks in the water, ate yummy food and enjoyed relaxing and visiting.  Monday we got up and cleaned up camp and headed for home.  It was a fun weekend of memories and the kids loved their first 'official' camping trip!
