Camping

We went camping up American Fork Canyon.  We usually go to Island Park, but since my Grandparents weren't coming (they live in Idaho on the way), and we had a lot of different work schedules to try and include in the scheduling, we decided to go somewhere close. While I still love Island Park, and it holds lots of great memories from growing up, I loved this new place and the closeness of it was awesome!  We had our family (which includes a 7,6,3 year olds and a 7 month old baby), Aaron and Kayla's family (which included a 2 year old and an 11 month old), and then Mike, Rachel, and my Mom and Dad; so it was quite the camping experience.  The kids loved it though and we kept busy by canoeing and playing in the Tibble Fork Reservoir, four wheeling, riding bikes and going on walks.  The kids loved exploring through the woods and even found (what they call) Magic Rock (I still don't know why it's named that).  We had some good food and played some fun games...and most of us got some good sleep.  Kenzlee didn't sleep very well up there (her FIRST camping trip btw), and when we came back home, she slept like a newborn (about 20 hours straight, minus time that she woke up and ate, then went back to sleep right away again.)

We played a game to see who could hold themselves up on the bench with their arms, Jonah was the winner of the kids.








This guy loves his marshmallows





And he found the games again!
