We decided that summer isn't quite over yet. We still wanted to play so we ended up going camping this weekend with some friends. It was a really quick weekend trip. We loaded up the car and headed up American Fork Canyon on Friday. We didn't think we'd have a hard time finding a camping spot, but I didn't take into account that hunting season has begun. I didn't realize it started so early. There we tons of people dressed in camo and bright orange. So, we drove around for quite a while until we found a place. It was great and right next to the river, but we ended up setting up camp in the dark. (This is becoming a common occurrence of Stephen and I) We had so much fun sitting around the campfire and cooking delicious tinfoil dinners. However, it did get pretty cold that night. I would guess it got down to 35 or 40 degrees or so. But I was toasty warm in my sleeping bag next to Stephen. The next morning I had probably the best breakfast you could make on a camping trip. Our friends Justin and Carissa brought up a griddle that we stuck over the fire and we attempted to make bacon, eggs and pancakes. Yummmm! They also had brought up some guns and we were going to go shooting. But with it being the hunting season you have to have a permit. So I guess we'll do it another time. We're hoping to maybe go one more time before it get too cold!

A Day on the Boat
We were able to finally spend a day on my parents boat. It's taken almost the entire summer to get it on the lake and it's been a couple of summers since we've used the boat. This was a well over due get-a-way. We went up to Deer Creek where surprisingly for a holiday weekend it wasn't very busy at all. I enjoyed it and was amazed that I remembered how to get up on skis. (It's been a couple of years) All the grandkids had a great time going on boat rides and playing on the water and in the sand. One thing we all agreed on is that we need to do this a little more often. However, I am sure stiff today. I don't think my body is used to being drug behind a boat. I hurt in places I didn't think I had muscles! It's all worth it though. Anywho...here's some pictures from the fun day. 

I'm so proud of Stephen. He made it up only after a few trys!

Here's proof that I actually got up after 2 years!
