Aspen Grove
Aspen Grove Family Camp is our FAVORITE vacation spot. It is in Provo Canyon a bit up the mountain from Sundance. We checked in on Saturday the 5th of June and stayed through Friday the 11th. It is a week of fun and bonding with the Ely family. I don't even know how to describe all that goes on during the week, everything including BYU professors giving lectures, just about any sport, crafts, pool, ping pong, air hockey, swimming in a huge 80 degree pool, family games, delicious food, ice cream and hiking. It is a busy fun filled week. My parents, their 5 kids, 3 sons-in-law, 1 daughter-in-law and 22 grand kids all share a family lodge, a big cabin with a family room, kitchen, 8 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and a loft.
The kids had to walk this to the finish line with out killing anyone. They did a great job.
Sam and Tyson were the martyrs in this event. We had to fill a holey trash can with water. We plugged holes with fingers and toes and then put Sam and Tyson in it so we didn't need as much water to fill it. It was icy cold. They were the heroes of the day for sure.

The menfolk, Sam included, fought fiercely in the 5 on 5 basketball tournament.
We lost, but they had a great time. Sam was guarding a giant, but never seemed shaken by it.
Hiking Timpanogas, Rich, Sam, Josh, Tim and Sara had a great time playing in the snow and exploring the waterfalls and such.



Zanna loved running around playing with all the cousins. There is always someone to play with all the grand kids.



Tim got hit in the mouth with a cue stick during a game of pool. We took him to Provo the next day to have the exposed root sealed. He had a root canal and a crown done when we got home.

Sara was quite the actress during skit night. She was belting out her song and totally in character.
Laney and Gwen, The theme of skit night was Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat. The kid's groups all acted and sang to one of the songs.
By the end of the week we saw more and more of this face on Zanna. She was ready for a regular schedule and her own bed.
