Happy Campers!

We did it! We took Andrew on his first camping trip! Joshua went on his first when he was 3 months old, but we didn't really feel like camping with Andrew in early March, so ... we waited until now. It was almost below freezing however. Hmmmm, March would have been much worse!

Lynda, Wendy and Chris drove up to Green Canyon in Logan and met up with us.
It was fun to run with Lynda in the morning through the canyon. We will really enjoy having her around a lot more starting this fall!
 

The boys loved themselves some Auntie time!
 

We cooked up some Tin Foil Dinners and Peach Cobbler. YUM!! The kiddos got to roast hot dogs. Joshy actually roasted chicken nuggets. That was interesting.Oh yes, and we ate S'mores. LOTS. OF. S'MORES.

This happy camper earned his dinner! Great job setting up camp Ryan!
 

I was out of beef so I marinaded some chicken and put together this crazy mash up of a tin foil dinner including, but not limited to: water chestnuts, red peppers pineapple and potatoes.
 

The night was pretty uneventful, except for the chilly weather, (glad Wendy and Chris decided NOT to sleep under the stars!), crawling out of my tent to get to the boys tent in the middle of the night to help a crying 4 year old, oh ya, and the visit from a raccoon. Check out this foot print the boys found in the morning!
(Still not as exciting as my sister Melissa's last camping trip by a long shot!)

Here's my little Nephi with his bow he built to take on the trip with him.
 

If you are going to have a monster child at camp, I recommend the red one! If you are going to have a raccoon visit your camp I recommend the blue one. If you are going to have a tired Mom at camp... well, every Mom that is camping is tired. That's a given.

In the morning we made it up to the cave scratch free!
 

This is what Chris calls a "Make-Melissa-Jealous-Picture". We thought of Melissa a lot on this trip! Glad her family got to go camping that night too. Too bad it was on the other side of the county.

Stole this one of Chris and Wendy. Love this one. Chris is so good to my sister!
 

This is one of our first family pictures with Andrew! Okay, one of the first ones I'm actually willing to share!


We took this one 2 years ago up at the cave. This was right after we moved to Logan.

And here we are now at the same place. Ha! Look Jared is wearing Danny's shirt! maybe in 2 more years Josh can be wearing it!

It was a great camping trip. Exhausting, but great. Glad we could go. Glad we could go straight to the car wash afterwards. Glad I could take my shoes off and get them hosed down at the car wash too. If only you could put your kids through the car wash also!!
