Hancock Campout

After the Petersen Campout we headed south to Arizona for a little Hancock get together. We headed up to the Cabin in Alpine for a little fun. Amber surprised us with t-shirts with the Hancock name, year, our name, and our number according to when we joined the Hancock family. Above is a picture of everyone that joined us in the mountains.
We loaded up the 4-wheeler for the trip and Brindi was again hard to get away from it. Between her and Taryn, I think one of them was always on the 4-wheeler. Gotta love those girls with adventure.
We also did some hiking during the trip. One hike we did get a little sidetracked and ended up spending some time fixing the road by filling in the pot holes with rocks. The little ones loved being able to help.

The area and family cabin is one of the favorite places for the Hancocks. It is absolutely beautiful in the mountains. Elk, wolves, pine trees, and green pasture abound. It was truly amazing being up there.

We also brought the horses to do a little riding. Celeste and I got to go on a pretty long ride up in the mountains by ourselves and everyone got a chance to ride a lot while we were there. Brindi even rode for a little bit. I think it will be a slow process warming up to horses for that girl.

We also had some tinfoil dinners, smores, banana boats, and other goodies. The two top right pictures are some of our favorites of our sad children. All the little ones seemed to play well with each other on the beds, under the tables and anywhere they could find a place to laugh.

Thanks to Bryant's love for the dog, Brindi decided she should like the dog also. However with the combination of Torque and Jag both being licking dogs, the first thing she would as grab his mouth so he could not lick her. Jag was a really good sport letting the kids do what they want to him.

Above is a combination of pictures including smelling trees (they actually smell like vanilla or chocolate and other smells, very weird). The girls visiting and my cute wife in the out house.

Our last adventure of the weekend was heading down to the lake on our way home to play in the water. Celeste's dad has two kayaks he brought. Brindi wanted to always be in the kayak but as soon as we backed away from the shore she wanted out. She is our little cautious girl. But what did you expect with her being Celeste and my kid? I had to keep distracting her with the ducks telling her we were going to get the ducks. It was the end of a great vacation.
