EVENING IN THE CANYON

Last night we decided to head up Ogden canyon for some hot dogs over the campfire and a little exploring. The boys were so excited. We haven't been camping since Mason was one or two. Sad. I know. But that is what happens when you are either pregnant or have a newborn every other summer since! Anyway we figured since summer is almost over we should at least take them up the canyon for the evening . . . and that we did! The excitement began on the drive up when we got into the canyon and Griffin was quite worried about the "dark". Mason being the good big brother that he is was reassuring little Griff that we were just in the shade and it wasn't dark. When we finally found our destination ( a little campground off the side of the road . . .) the boys were in heaven. They loved just being outside, having a fire, cooking our hot dogs, playing with sticks, throwing rocks in the river, and just being boys. Even though we were only there a few hours it was a lot of fun and we hope to make an overnight trip next summer!

Dax was so good (as usual) I think he really liked being outdoors!


Building the fire


What would we do without daddy???

Looks like so much fun! Cooking dinner outside is always better than cooking it inside! Dax is so cute, and he is getting so big!

Way fun! We love doing things like that, but we don't get out near enough. We are hoping for an overnighter next summer too. Maybe we should plan one together!
