Camping at Jolley's Ranch

We went camping with my cousins at Jolley's Ranch up Springville Canyon. We had a great time. Even with the rain and the lack of sleep. I love this campground because it has a little creek and a spillway that the kids can play in. It's not too deep but can be quite cold since the water is freshly melted snow. Here are the only pictures we really got. Friday afternoon D got stung or bit by something and maybe into poision oak or poision ivy or both. What ever it was made his ankle swell up and then the skin started to blister. So Rich and Brook took him down to the hospital and they couldn't tell us what exactly we were dealing with. So they gave him a shot of epinephrine,he didn't even cry, they gave him some prednisone and then they wanted to give him an antibiotic but they didn't have any liquid in the hospital. So they tried to put it in yogurt but he would swish it around and swallow the yogurt and not the pill. And when the coating wore off the pill he spit it out. They had to have some liquid antibiotic sent over and sent him home around midnight . The guys stopped at Ream's to pick up some more benadryl and made it back to camp around 1am Saturday morning.

I have such good memories of tubing down the river. My poor kids don't even know what that is. Looks like fun!
