Playing catch up one post at a time: Camping

Our laptop is forever gone and until we can buy a new computer we are using my dad's computer (Thanks dad!). I try to get on while Katie is sleeping but usually by the time I check my e-mail and surf the web for a bit I'm ready to nap with her for a little while. I plan to be better an get caught up on all that we've been doing this summer the first post of which is our overnight camping trip.



The first weekend in June we drove up Little Cottonwood canyon and stayed at the Tanners Flat camp ground. While John was setting up the tent Katie had a little fall and hurt her wrist which is why she has her arm in a sling the whole time. She didn't want to use her arm the entire time we were camping but as soon as we got home and gave her a bath it was like nothing happened. Katie was unsure of the fire, it didn't bother her until it popped a couple times and then she was done with it so we put it out and turned in early.


The river was just down from our tent site. It was beautiful.
Katie wore Daddy's beanie to stay warm, and kept her Binky in nearly the whole trip. It made her feel better about her arm.



Daddy had to climb on all the big rocks.

More of the beautiful river.


There were two does close to our campsite, here's one of them.

Katie liked the tent and wanted to play with all the pockets.

Making a silly face.

Our new family tent. We have two other tents both are for back packing, a one person and a two person. Now that we will have a family of four we decided to get a big car camping family tent.

What a cute little girl in pink.

Katie likes big rocks like her daddy.

We had a good time and are sad that this is likely the only camping we will do this year.
