Camping!

 Mom talked me into going camping over Labor Day weekend.  We tried it once 2 years ago & didn't have fun with a 1 & 2 year old, but Mom was pretty persistent so we packed the car to the lid & away we went to Tony's Grove in Logan Canyon! 

Tucker was very independent on this trip.  He thinks he is big stuff like his brother & sister.  He was quite slow, but he did good walking :) 

 My Aunt Pam's family came too.  Here is Abby, Chloe & our gang playing by the lake.

 Whitney adores Chloe & doesn't seem to notice their age difference at all.  Chloe is a good sport about playing with her lots.

It rained and stormed all night.  It was really cold & loud so in the middle of the night we all crawled into the trailer to sleep! The next morning it was still too cold so we did crafts inside too.

 Once it warmed up we played some games.

 We also went for a hike around the lake.

 Mom & her favorite color... this is the last we saw of her as she sped off with Chloe & Tommy.

I forgot how much I love to hike!  There is nothing like it.

We decided to take the stroller on this hike & it got quite hairy.  We had to carry it a lot!

 Whitney wanted a picture next to this tiny "waterfall"... so tiny that you can't see it in the picture!

 We came upon this really cool rock wall & decided to climb it.

 Here we are at the top.  I thought this picture would be really cool, but Vic zoomed in on it!

 So just as we are feeling cool for climbing our "cliff", my teenage cousin Colter decided to show us how much cooler he was by climbing higher.... 

...and Trevor the coolest for climbing the highest!!

 There was a lot of mushrooms because of the wet August.  I made Tommy squeeze back behind it so you could see just how HUGE this thing was!

 In the afternoon I had the kids do more crafts & painting. 

Trevor, Chloe & Vic went for a hike. Vic was impressed with how well Chloe kept up.

I told him he better take pictures if he was going to be gone 6 hours & these two are the only 2 he took.  Ha, such a man!

 The kids did really well at entertaining themselves around the campsite.  Tucker was a bit crazy, but overall they did pretty good.
