A Day on the Rim

Danni headed up north for the Ward Youth Conference, and Josh spent the day at band camp, so Jim and I took the younger girls up north to spend a nice cool day with Grandma and Grandpa Pace on the rim.
There were berries at Grandma and Grandpa's campsite, and the girls took the opportunity to pick them. It took them quite a while to fill their cups full of berries. It was a great project for the girls!
Grandma Pace brought some great toys to play with and the girls were thoroughly entertained. They went on a hike with Grandpa Pace, collected rocks, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows, played with the dogs, and enjoyed hanging out in the cool weather. In the afternoon, the rain came and we headed inside their trailer for a nap and good conversation. Jim and his dad joked with me a few times - that's to be expected when you camp with the Paces.
While we were at the rim, there was a controlled burn close by. Some smoke made it into the campsite. It was pretty cool site to see. I'm so glad that they are managing the forests.
