Camping!!

We went camping up American Fork Canyon for Father's Day weekend. We didn't realize that everyone else in the state of Utah would have the same idea. It was so crowded, pretty much every camping spot was taken. We finally found one, that we had to hike up to a little bit, it wasn't bad at all, and it was a great little spot!! We had so much fun, it was me Chad and the kids, My 3 brothers: Jeff, Matt and Kevin and Jeff's girlfriend Jen. My niece Ashley was going to come, but I was so glad to hear that she chose to go to youth conference instead!! We are hoping to be able to plan a camping trip with my entire immediate family, up American Fork Canyon in August, and then one with Chad's family to Lake Alexander...both are so beautiful!!! I love it, and I am glad the kids love it too!! We bought a little hatchet for Austin (I know, I know he is only 3, but he is going to be 4 next month, we watch him carefully and he has been very responsible with it) that he helps Chad chop firewood with. And Alyssa explores the whole campsite helping everyone with whatever looks fun and exciting. We had a lot of fun!!!
