Spur of the Moment Camping Trip!

It is so great to live close to the Canyon! Jenny and Nate decided to get a camping spot on Wednesday...and so Hal and I ran up and got the last spot that was left and luckily it was right next to Jenny and Nate's. We left on Thursday night after work and on the way up realized that we had left the trailer keys in Hal's truck... so he thought he would drop me off with Jenny and Nate and then go back and get the keys. When we got there...they had loaded up the kids and were about to leave to go home and get a good nights sleep. The racoon's had kept them up the night before. So we left and went home to sleep! We went up again on Friday afternoon and most of the kids showed up for dinner! It was a fun night. I found a new dutch oven dessert recipe and thought I would give it a try to celebrate Ryan's birthday. It was chocolate cake with marshmallows and carmels and the batter was really yummy! Well it said to cook it for 20 mins... with low heat... after 20 mins... Batter... hmmm? Ok so I added a bunch of coals and upped the heat... after about 2 hours of that I finally gave up. It was yummy goop...but that was about it! I guess I should stick to the recipes that I know! Thanks for trying it Oakley! You are a good sport! (He always has such great faith in me.)

The camping trip ended up being so much fun! We loved every minute! Wish we could have had the whole family with us... we sure miss Amy and Brett's family and Lizzy and Dallas!
Below are some pictures of our adventure!
