Mickelsen Campout at Duck Creek

For our Mickelsen Family campout this year, we went to Duck Creek.  We rented a beautiful cabin up Cedar Canyon and had a lot of fun!  It is always great to get together, play games, talk, relax, and just be together as a family.  We did miss my brother Cody and his family, but our thoughts were with you!  I made a Mickelsen Family Bingo game and my mom had some great prizes!
Whitney took us on a great hike to a beautiful waterfall!









Funny thing--it was pretty hot on our way to the waterfall, but right as we were heading back dark clouds started to form.  What started as a light sprinkle turn into a little down pour.  We all walked quickly back to the trucks and go soaked, but it was fun!  I think it only rained on the trail because when we got to the trucks, it stopped!

Whitney also knew about a fun cave that is popular for hikers.  It is called Mammoth Cave.  It is a big hole in the ground with tunnels all underground that you can hike through.  These tunnels were old lava tubes and were pretty cool!  All the little kids came and they loved it!  Mom gave everyone a headlight for a prize during our bingo game so we were all prepared.  It was completely dark and some places were pretty low (just right for Colton). Toward the end, there was a part where you had to crawl through on your stomach and of course I couldn't fit so a few of us turned back.  What a fun adventure! 







Fishing was definitely a must! 

The kids had a lot of fun!  This is the fort they built and spent most of their time running around and playing!
Thanks Mom and Dad for a great trip!
