Camping

We went on a 2-night camping trip in July in a nearby canyon and had such a great time.

This deer wasn't afraid of us at all and came and ate right by our campsite.

Enjoying the campfire

 

Breakfast.  We had those little boxes of cereal and the kids thought that was pretty cool.

 

 

 

We drove down to Grantsville Reservoir--one of the ugliest reservoirs I've ever seen, but the kids had fun throwing rocks into it.

The kids also had fun throwing rocks in the little stream that went through the canyon where we camped.

The first day and night, and part of the next day, we were the ONLY ones in the whole campground.  It was SO nice!  We hiked around and the kids found "treasures."  They lined up these lovelies and left them on a picnic table at another campsite.

There were SO many pinecones around our campsite.  One of the kids called it "Pinecone World."

The kids helped to stir the pancake mix for breakfast on our last morning

 

 

Emily, Megan and Tyler--dirty, but happy kids

 

 

Megan with her "Kindle Fire" made out of rocks (And my kids hardly even play on our devices, so I'm not sure why she thought she needed to create one out of rocks.)



Emily and her "motorcycle" rock.
