Summer Camping Trip

Last weekend we did a one night camping trip up in the Wasatch Mountains. It was beautiful. The campground ended up further up than we thought, but the van did amazing and handled the bumpy dirt road really well! We took all of our bikes with us and the boys liked riding around. Daniel's training wheels didn't do quite as well on dirt, but he was a trooper and kept trying even when his wheels were just spinning. All three boys loved the DIRT, and I just had to smile and say, oh well, we're camping.

Andrew loved helping out with the cooking the next morning. He ate all the sausage his brothers wouldn't eat (it was the wrong shape...) and finished all the pancake they left on their plates.

It was pretty chilly the next morning, so  the boys were all bundled up and riding their bikes to keep warm!

Nathan found this stick and had fun marching around with it.

This was the dirt road to the campground. The campground was just a few miles north of cascade springs.

We had to stop and check out the stream.  Andrew really wanted to go for a swim. The other two were content to throw sticks and rocks in the water.
This was at Cascade Springs. It was a great walk for the little guys. It would be fun to go back and walk more of the loop around. Andrew loved all the waterfalls and stopped to roar at them all. That is his new sound for almost anything, excited, any animal, mad, funny,etc.  Daniel was watching for fish a lot of the time- we didn't see any though.

We drove home thru the Alpine Loop (paved roads!!) and Scott told the boys to watch for animals. We didn't see any, but the boys sure had fun imagining! They saw tigers, dinosaurs, baboons, monkeys, giraffes, you name it, it was there that day! Beautiful drive and cheaper than the zoo. We certainly enjoy the mountains that we live by. It will be fun to explore and see more as we venture out with the boys!!
