Camping trip #1

Does a 24 hour camping trip "count" as a camping trip.

For some of you Canadians maybe not:)

The back of our Suburban (or zurban as Bauer says or suvurvan like Cooper) was packed I mean seriously for 24 hours, I suppose if we would have went any longer I would have only had to bring a bigger cooler and a little bit more food.

We went up to Scofield Res. up Spanish Fork canyon almost to Price Ut.

One of Ben's favorites, the nice thing was is was pretty slow only a few other people in the campground besides us.

Some of the high-lights or low-lights.

We brought our tent but not the poles.

Ben caught 6 fish.

Alivia had her first summer romance:) kind of

The weather during the day was awesome.

I froze at night (thank goodness it was only one night)

Bauer threw up in the middle of the night (again thank goodness)

We ate smore's

We got a new tent

Ben organized the camping stuff

I didn't have to sweep for 2 days.

I have a lot laundry to do, throw up laundry is the Worst!!

We cooked over a fire.

The kids had fun for how ever long we went.

Okay this is a story for the record books.

There was this kid Zach, I didn't really notice that the kids had found a new friend, he was up fishing with his Dad and Grandparents.

He was from Payson, he was nine going on 19.

He found a little girlfriend in Alivia although Alivia thought he was "nice".

This picture is the best although I was not prepared to take it and didn't switch over to auto mode in time. He went out and picked some flower and asked Alivia to come here, it was then I noticed what he was doing and yanked my camera out of my bag and tried to get it.

This picture is post flower giving, I think she might have been a little embarrassed.

One of the many other funny things about this was, when he was going over to his camp for the night, He yells to Alivia "bye Alivia, I love you".

She looked at me shocked and then said "he could have just said that he liked me"He also gave her a big hug before him and his dad left, she again turned and looked at me while he was hugging her and put her hands in the air, like what should I do.

He was a nice kid, he asked for her phone number let's hope though he doesn't remember it.

We also found out while we were there that Bauer has inherited something from his Aunt Leah, "sundowners" that kid was so funny after the sun went down, these were only a few shots of the normally calm, happy Bauer.

He was so funny and cute.

Ps- one funny thing Cooper said this morning, we went out for a little hike to see if we could find Ben out on the canoe, and there was a trail off to the side and Bauer came running back, "mom I found Dad's foot tracks....come on let's go find him."

So to humor Bauer we followed him down and up some hills, and Cooper then says, "I didn't know you were a scientist Bauer."
