Somehow Aaron managed to change my mind--the temptation of dutch oven peach cobbler had something to do with it--and we planned a little overnight adventure in American Fork Canyon. Alli and Cory came with us, and we left Kennedy behind with Grandma.
Each of us learned some valuable lessons essential to wilderness survival:
Cory learned that the mountains get chilly at night,
and one should always pack long-sleeved shirts, pants, and socks.

Alli learned that she needs to help her husband pack his clothes.
Aaron learned that firewood burns faster

And Maddie learned that she LOVES camping!
Overall, we had a lot of fun despite several torrential downpours. Thanks to Papa's van, we didn't get too soaked, and we might have beat the world record in time it takes to pack up a campsite (which we had to do as soon as we woke up the next morning)! I think we all want to try it again next summer, and maybe we'll even take Kennedy next time...

Looks like fun! Ver brave, but fun.
Sorry, I meant "very brave." Not easy typing with one hand, and a baby in the other!
Can't wait to try again! I want to try making enchiladas in the dutch oven!
Looks like a GREAT trip....makes me want a s'more =) That's what I think of when I think of camping =)
There's one thing that comes to mind when I see the pictures...Everyone looks COLD!!! Maddie seems to have enjoyed it though. I remember when Aaron brought her "camping" in our backyard last summer and she didn't want to go to sleep because she was in there alone. She'd pop her head out of the tent and say "Daddy, I don't like camping!" LOL
