Cousins 12 Year Old Trip

Grandma Cindy and Grandpa Walt have a tradition of inviting grandchildren to spend a week with them (no parents allowed) when they turn 12 years old.  Alex was lucky enough to share this time with 2 of his other cousins (Benji and Elliot) who also turned 12 this year.  They spent a week filled with late nights, silliness, golf ball hunting, hiking and going to the temple.  Here are a few pictures of their fun filled week.

What a difference a day makes!  Look how excited these boys are at the beginning of the hike...and then...

 Here's what they looked like at the top!  They look a little worse than when they began!  Grandma and grandpa really wore them out!

 A few shots along the trail...

 In the evening hours (after the golf course closed), the boys would hit golf balls and hang out on the green.

 When it got really dark, they played laser tag and even hid in the sand traps for extra cover!

 You can't go wrong with a fire and s'mores in the evening!

 There was a portion of the day spent hunting for frogs in the water traps on the course, and it looks like the boys found success!

 And an evening watching a play at Tuachan!

 So grateful that grandma and grandpa began this tradition!  I'm sure these boys ran them ragged and caused all sorts of mischief!  (They were cutting their leg hair with grandma's scissors at one point and i'm sure they did all kinds of other crazy things!).
