Ponderosa Campground

For Father's Day weekend this year we went camping. This is one of Tyler's favorite traditions to do with our family. This year we went to the Ponderosa Campground. It is in Nephi Canyon on the Nebo Scenic Loop. This is now our favorite campground to go to. It was so beautiful, clean and the kids had a blast.

This was the Gerber Family Campout this year. My parents, little brother Kjell and his wife, and my little sister and her family went with us. My older sister and her family stayed home this year and went to baseball games with their son; we missed them.

We rode bikes, went for walks, painted rocks, played with bubbles, walked Daisy, ate food, and did beads. Will made an awesome hammock out of kite string. The weather was great until the day we came home and it rained and rained on us.

Our family


Kristal & John's Family: John, Kristal, Soren, Will, Jason & Emmie

Fisher has really loved otter pops this summer. He does pretty good with them.

Mom, Fisher and Hunter rockin the sunglasses.


This was our campsite. The tall trees made amazing shade.


The river was raging and it was right off our campsite. The edge of the cement pad where our picnic table was was a cliff down to the river. It was a bit scary for us. The kids did really well and stayed away. We decided that it was scary for them too so they weren't interested in being close to it.


Here is Will in his awesome hammock that he made from kite string!


Justin loves to paint rocks.


Kjell played with Hunter. Hunter was doing great pulling himself up to standing in the pack-n-play.


Fisher and Soren played with the trucks for a long time. They would roll them down the little asphalt slope by the picnic table. They were cute together.


Justin and Jason: best buddies.


We celebrated Father's Day the day we came home. The weather was crummy but we still had fun. This was one attempt of many to get a picture with the 3 boys and Dad.


The twins were so tired that they both fell asleep before we got out of the canyon!


Happy Father's Day Tyler! Until next year......
