Our Annual Biggs Desert Picnic

Ah, I love this time of year.  I love the tradition that the Biggs' have of have a desert, breakfast picnic.  It's a lot of work for mom and dad, but we all enjoy it, and it gets us away from our busy lives for just a bit, which is great.  Mom making her famous cheese biscuits.  I've tried and can't quite make them the same as she does.

Mingling with the family.

My main squeeze.

Scott loves it when the little kids want to talk with him.  Here is Lindsay showing him her treasures.

Mary and Rebecca making, potatoes and bacon

Oh goodness, if Polly and Isabel look a little frightened, it's because they truly are.  They were out hiking in the desert, and Polly bent down to pick a flower and about a foot away from her hand was a rattle snake coiled and shaking it's rattle.  They ran and ran fast down the hill.  Scott went up to find the snake, but it must have already moved on.  That's the only thing that I don't like about the desert picnic, is the possibility of snakes.  I'm so grateful that they didn't get bitten.

Scott, Lillian and Polly

Grandpa, doin his thang!!!  He is pretty good, I mean look at those biscuits!!!

Enjoying the hard work.


There's something about little boys and fires.  These boys had no problem taking our used plates, because they wanted to throw them in the fire, and watch them burn!
Cute cousins, Polly and Isabel

Carson you lucky skunk!

Two cute smiles.  Lillian and Jared.

Rylie and Lillian

We were going on a hike to find a geo cash treasure.  It was longer than the kids thought, but it was fun.
The kids finding the geo cash.  Thanks Tyson for showing us this fun game.

This is where the geo cash treasure was.


Something about Scott draws the kids to him.  Maya was happy to be carried by this handsome man.

I guess Lillian, Mary, and Polly thought that they should do some lunges to work off that yummy breakfast.
