We spent Saturday night up at the canyon with two of Shane's brothers and their families. I have come to believe that the best part of living in Utah is being able to drive a couple miles into the canyon and see GREEN everywhere!! It is so beautiful here and I cannot wait until the autumn when the leaves start changing colors. We just wanted to get out of town and relax for awhile so we packed up the kids and smore makings and headed out. The kids had so much fun just running around and playing in the dirt. I commented to Shane while we were there that this is the first time that we have been able to have a campfire and really enjoy it since our kids are now older and we can actually sit and relax. We had so much fun that we are planning an actual two night camping trip in the next couple of weeks.

Shane took his guitar up and we sang lots of songs and enjoyed his playing. I just love it when he plays the guitar.
Emma believes that the smore will taste better if it gets all over her face and then she has to lick it off. I am not sure that I believe that but if that's what makes her happy, then go for it.
All the cousins watching the Dad's try to catch a fish in the river with a stick. We told the kids they were not allowed to play in the river because we didn't want them wet. I guess we should have given the dad's the same directions!! Oh well, at least they stayed dry and gave up catching the fish after about fifteen minutes.
