Aspen Grove...

We spent a week at Aspen Grove, up Provo Canyon and run by BYU, at their family camp for a Hardy family reunion. They have so many fun activities for everyone, with kids groups for every age. The counselors are mostly BYU students and they do a great job keeping the kids busy and entertained.

Our girls loved going and had fun playing with cousins and doing things with their groups. They swam every day and went on a hike, did crafts and face-painting and singing and playing and were exhausted by bedtime.

This is just one of the playgrounds there, it is a big pirate ship the kids love to play on.

And while the kids are busy in their groups, adults can do a variety of things, like air-rifle shooting, archery, bad minton, shuffleboard, tennis, walleyball, racquetball, basketball, volleyball, frisbee golf, swimming, etc. or just relax! Steve and his siblings and in-laws did a round of paintball. No injuries this year, however there were some pretty nasty bruises!

Even with all the coverage, they came out splattered with paint in their hair and on their clothes.

Ryder and I made great spectators and laughed at everyone running for cover and trying not to get shot!


Playing miniature golf with cousins and having fun.

Brityn did pretty good as long as she could drop her ball in the hole at the end.

Kendyl had some pretty wild shots but had fun chasing after the stray balls.

Steve and Kendyl on the go-carts.

Kendyl on her own go-cart.

They have an arts and crafts place where you can paint ceramics, take a pottery class or a water color class. This year the girls wanted to do some painting so Brityn chose a turtle and Kendyl picked a butterfly.


Something new they had this year, was a rock wall. Here's Kendyl with her face-painted waiting her turn.


Kendyl was very excited that her group got to climb it!


She did awesome on her first try!



She was so excited about climbing that she couldn't wait until there was free time to do it again!

That looks like so much fun. I would love to know more about it so maybe my family can do it next year.
