Family Campout

I have a brother and sister that live here in Utah, so we decided to get the families together and have a 2 night camp out.  We camped out at American Fork Canyon in the Little Mill sites...Tana is 38 wks pregnant so we kept it close to her house so she could go home at nights.  That first night it was just Jeff's family and ours, and we had a lot of fun.  The kids just loved playing together.  The creek was nearby, games, and hanging out by the fire...  

Our family was in charge of dinner and we did chicken/beef tacos/quesadillas.  I also tried a bit of dutch oven with cinnamon rolls...but they exploded.  Remember, this weekend it reached 105 degrees, so it was close to that in the canyon.  The rolls rose too fast and just over flowed before I realized it.  Oh well, it became pull apart bread.

Eating altogether...

The creek was cold an refreshing!  Couldn't keep them away from it...


Jeff and Alice had brought their 4 wheelers.  It was tons of fun.  Rian and Jarom both learned how to drive them.  They've driven 4 wheelers before, but only automatic ones.  This was their chance to learn shifting gears.  They did awesome!  Drove up to Silver Lake Reservoir (gorgeous) and many other trails.


That second night, Tana and Matt were able to make it up with their family.  We roasted mallows and made smores.
       

Oh the bliss written all over their faces... PRICELESS!
