Big Cottonwood Canyon

How great it is to be living so close to the mountains! For the weekend of July 24th we went camping with (who else!) Jordan's 3 brothers and their families. Logan's favorite part was building the fire with his dad and uncles, Emmy's was spending time with her fun aunts and Alyssa's was playing musical sleeping bags-ALL NIGHT LONG. Levi was his usual mellow fellow self and just enjoyed being held by everyone. Dad's was the fact that he didn't have to do any of the packing and mom's was... still thinking... just kidding. I loved just having my family all together without TV, computer, phones, gameboys and the noise of everyday life. I love being out in the beauty of the mountains and soaking up the peace and reminder of Heavenly Father's love that it provides.

Saturday morning we hiked around the lake and just sat and visited. Other than the mound of laundry that it created, the weekend was perfect.


We say a baby moose licking the road on our way up the canyon. No mother spotted.

What a great weekend. I agree on the laundry comment - how could one night camping create so many dirty clothes?! It was worth every load of laundry though!
