So we headed to the great outdoors -- Silver Lake (Brighton Ski Resort). It took two cars this time because we all went. It was nice and cool and peaceful and pleasant . . . . until our picnic lunch . . . then the kids were bothered by the bugs.

Not liking the bugs in the great outdoors is one of those family characteristics that spans generations. When I was a young kid my dad was involved in building Mill Hollow (Granite District's summer science camp). Mom loaded us up in the car one summer afternoon to take a picnic supper to Mill Hollow to join Dad. KFC was our standard picnic. We spread out a blanket in a shady area, got things ready to eat and then the attack of the slow moving deer flies ensued. When I tried
to shoo one off my forehead, it refused to fly away and there it stayed, splat.
The best part of Grandma Camp is actually just staying at Grandma's house. We really don't need to go anywhere, the kids just like to hang out. Its been fun having some days off just to "hang out".
