The mountains and camping

Summer is always too short, so we just have to pack in the fun while we still have time. We like to go to the mountains and have a fire and do a dinner of roasted hot dogs. We had a free Sunday at the end of July, so we took our chance after church that there would still be some picnic spots....we had to go as high as the Spruces up Big Cottonwood, but no problem, we got a spot. (The canyons get very crowded in the evening, especially the weekends!) 


 Just getting the fire started
 Exploring at the river while the fire heats up (they put their feet in the cold cold water, but this log bridge was just calling out to them!)
 Rachel took a turn balancing
 Not to be outdone by the big kids, Aubrey had to do it too (And she is half-dressed because she also had to try out the cold water.)
 Rachel used her patience to lure a potgut from the bushes to eating out of her hand! 

We headed up to Pineview Reservoir for the first weekend in August to go camping and boating with Burrell's. Since most of my pictures fit into the "boating" category, some pics got posted on my "boating fun" post a little while back. But the dorky kids got their hands on the camera and did some posing and picture taking with the pillow pets. It was fun in the sun! and sand and water....and trees and tents, and well, you get the picture!
