Camping with Friends

This summer has been so busy with so many fun things. This weekend, we went up to Little Cottonwood canyon with a bunch of neighbor friends. It was seriously so much fun. This was the second time we had been camping in our tent or investment, as Jake calls it! and it seemed to hold up pretty well!!

We wanted to hike up to Cecret Lake, but they had the Tour of Utah and with all the little kids, we didn't think we could make it before they closed the road down. So we hiked up the mountain a little bit and had a picnic. It was beautiful! I love to camp and hike and be in the mountains. The kids were in heaven. They were climbing all over the rocks and playing in the dirt.

We had breakfast and dinner with everyone and then on our own for everything else. It was so nice to get out and hang out with friends. The kids were absolutely filthy and it was so fun to watch all the kids have such a great time together. The older girls were great sports having Avery shadow them everywhere.

It rained the first night and we all huddled under the canopies. You just can't go camping without rain! It made it all that much more fun! I love Kristin's face!!!

Sawyer wanted his mom to put chains around him. We were dying because he was so dirty, no shoes and running around with chains! Funny kid!
