Camping Trip #1

We had such a fun campout this last weekend. We found a great spot up Kanosh Canyon and had a blast. Here's the hunters getting ready to go.We did lots of fun things like looking at the stars

And keeping our backs
and fronts warm by the fire.
We also shot the BB gun a little
and had a great time! Overall the trip was a success. The only problem I had was that it was FREEZING! at night. I was sooooooo cold! Doug of course slept like a warm toasty baby. The highlight of the trip was Sophia vomiting all over the port-a-potty because of the smell. She wouldn't throw up in the toilet (where the smell was coming from) and so it was everywhere. So fun.
After we camped we decided to take a quick trip to Cove Fort since we were only about 10 miles away. It was great. I hadn't been there since a youth conference a long time ago so it was fun to go again. What a neat place!
Too bad we were all so stinky and dirty from camping. They didn't seem to mind though.
Here's Grandpa and Sophia at the top of the fort.
Here we are on top of the carriage. I couldn't believe how high up we were. I would have been terrified to actually ride up there with horses. Sophia was scared out of her mind as well.
Lilly on the other hand loved it so much that she wanted a turn all by herself.
Here's Sophia pulling the smoker in the blacksmith shop.
Here's Lilly in the barn.
One of us thoroughly enjoyed a chocolate chip granola bar and nap on the way home. She fell asleep while eating the granola bar. It was everywhere! This picture does not do it justice but her hands were covered.
This weekend we're heading out again with the Tax department from Doug's work. We're headed toward Capitol Reef this time. I'm excited for some hiking!

Can't believe you are game for such adventures with your bun in the oven! You are great. Looks like you had fun, but I wouldn't like to sleep cold either.

Ok the prego gun picture is hilarious. If you were wearing a white tank top with your belly showing it would be fantastic! It looks like a really fun trip. We should take our girls camping together sometime.
