Camp Floyd

My Grandma and Grandpa Waters took me and my cousin Claira to Camp Floyd. It is a place where the army sent from the United States stayed while they were checking up on the Mormon and making sure that they were not planning any up rises. They ended up camping for the summer.

This is a canon that they used and it is 1/3 the size of a real one

This is the stage coach inn that was there at the same time of the camp


This is one of the bedrooms


This is an organ that they used to go in and play so that they made sure that the owners children didn't get to ruffed up by the people that stayed there


Here is a tree that was planted about 1850



Youth Conference

For Youth Conference we went down to Ferron, Utah. It is in the middle of nowhere. When we first got there we went on a water slide. I really liked it and I think I went down it at least 50 times. That night we went to the Castle Valley Pageant. That was probably my favorite it was just so fun to see.


These are some petroglyphs we saw, I like climbing in the rock around them as well.

Here we are getting ready for the dance we had with a local stake.

Rodney Atkins Pionneer Day Concert

For Pioneer day we went to see a Rodney Atkins concert. I really enjoyed it. He sang a lot of really good songs including "Watching You" and "Farmers Daughter".

Here we are sitting together waiting for it to start.

This is one of the better pictures we got of him.

This is him on stage.

Kennecott Copper Mine

Two days ago on Monday morning my Grandparent took Rachel, Elisha, and me to the Kennecott Copper Mine. It was so cool. 

We saw a wheel that they use on the trucks and it was 12 feet 6 inches tall!


Here is one of the trucks on the road in the mine. You can kind of tell how big they are. 



They had other things on display including part of an old train. 


Here is looking into the mine

Thanks Grandpa and Grandma for taking us!! We had so much fun.

Excursion in the Uintas

My parents and I went to the Uinta mountains last Monday. We took a day hike and went to Pot Lake and around it. We went and looked over a ledge on a cliff. I had a good time, it was fun to get out and see other things that I don't see everyday.
