A to Z Summer Camping

Jenna & Mike at the falls
 We had a ward camp out this past weekend. Rylee had cheer camp so couldn't come, but we decided to go without her. It was a lot of fun! We went up to a campground just past Kamas. We drove a little further to hike at Provo River Falls for a bit. We were there a year ago and were expecting even less water than last year since our snow fall was less this year. We were very surprised to find it rushing with a lot more water than the same time last year. It was beautiful!
Cole & Noah had fun hiking in the cold water

Our cute family, minus Ry.

Mike & Jenna roasting their marshmallows over the coals left from dinner.
 We went back to camp to have dinner with the ward. It started raining just after dinner, but just for a few minutes. Then some of us played volleyball, some played ultimate frisbee, some just ran around enjoying friends, and some just sat and visited. Later we roasted marshmallows and sang camp songs around the camp fire. The boys slept in the tent, Jenna in the cab of the truck, and Mike & I in the back of the truck. It started pouring rain about 2 a.m. and didn't stop for almost 2 hours. We stayed dry in the truck and since the boys didn't come find us to tell us they were getting wet, we assumed they were dry too. Luckily in the morning we found out they were. Our tent is awesome!!! It was a really fun night. I hope they make it a yearly activity.

On our way back to camp  after hiking at the falls this "little" guy crossed the road right in front of us. It was awesome! Moose are amazing animals!

The boys were all smiles in the morning, nice and dry!
