I know the names are hard to see, but they are there!

Deer Haven
Twelve years ago Derek and I went on our first official date. We lived in Cedar City and so I took him to Deer Haven which is up Cedar Canyon. Our stake always went to girls camp up at Deer Haven so it holds a special place in my heart :) (cheesy) Anyway we went up there and went hiking and I told him stories about camp (i'm sure he was extra attentive cause we were dating :) Before we left we each carved our name in a tree by the cattle guard entrance and Derek put the + sign and the date. We went back up to see the tree in '06 and he carved the '06 in. The tree looked like it had caught on fire at some point but it is probably just a disease in the tree cause none of the trees around it were blackened! This year I went to girls camp with my friend Jackie's ward and I had to check on the tree :) It was still there but part of Derek's name had fallen off :( (I have pictures of 1997 and 2006 but my scanner won't work...grrr) So now Derek and I need to go back there together and pick a new tree to carve our names with our kids :) (Yes, I know it's not good to carve in trees, but I'm gonna do it anyway:)

The memories of Deer Haven! I have a lot of pictures from girls camp... but my scanner does not work at the moment! That is cool you went there with Derek! What a special tree!
I also have a lot of picture of when my dad was Santa in the 23rd Ward! I have you( you should see the glasses you had on!!) me, jackie, the fau girls, Larry Judd...just to name a few:-) I really need to get a new scanner... these pictures are hilarious!!
well I dont think the memories of Deer Haven are cheesy at all :) Seeing as how I share mostly the same ones!! I love that place, one of my favorite places in the whole world, it makes me happy to think of that place!
Wow, that's a flashback! I've got some girls camp photos somewhere too... to protect the innocent, I will not be posting them!
They are there, I saw them with my own eyes! It was so great to see you there, we should have taken a picture with Jackie. It was fun talking with you on the hike, you are such a great girl!
oh, the memories. Me and my sister were just talking about those girls camp days. Loved um. So sad about the tree. I think it is okay to carve in an tree. It preserves memories for a lifetime. Have fun.
What a cool first date! And I think it would be super fun for you to take the whole family back and make it an even better memory!
How do you still look cute when camping? Love the tree!
