There have been many times over the years where my family (the Parkers) would go up Millcreek Canyon in Utah for breakfast up the canyon. The last time we all got together for it was the year before my mom died, 10 years ago. It's about time we did it again.
First order of business, get a good fire going. My brother Doug has been dubbed the family pyromaniac since his obsession with fire set the woods ablaze when the family was camping and since he was always getting caught with illegal fireworks as a teenager. He and David actually split wood by throwing it onto the edge of the cement then got the fire going.
My brother, Scott, manned the skillets and cooked up pancakes, bacon, sausage, and eggs.
I was the cooking prep team. Next time we'll remember to bring mixing bowls so we don't have to mix pancake batter in a skillet.
Scott's kids, Danielle and Ethan, volunteered for baby duty and kept Austin and Kadence entertained throwing rocks into the stream.
We were finally ready to start eating. My Dad and Nell, my step mom, got us started. 10 months ago we thought we were going to lose my Dad, and miraculously here he is. He's still recovering from a traumatic brain injury, but he's doing so well he even recounted the infamous story of me kicking a cactus as a child. He's doing so well!
Kadence loved the pancakes and sausage.
Here's the whole crew minus the photographer (me).
Doug is a real photographer and got some great shots.
And then it's time for roasting marshmallows! This is just a great picture of Scott as he's roasting marshmallows.
Doug shot some posed pictures before we finished up.
I have pictures of Parker, McKay, Bryson, Danielle, and Ethan in this same tree 10 years ago.
What a handsome shot of Ethan.
And what can I say...Danielle is gorgeous.
