Over the 24th of July, we had our ward campout up Big Cottonwood Canyon. It was beautiful up there and it was so nice to have it so close to home.
Lucy loved playing with the other little girls in the ward. They thought this rock was the greatest thing ever.
This shirt Sammy is wearing says "Happy Camper." I thought it was pretty appropriate :). It was a lot of fun to just sit and visit with everyone. We set up camp, explored the area, made dinner with everyone, had s'mores and a campfire sing-a-long. While we were exploring, Lucy pointed to the trees and made the sign for bear. I said, "there's a bear?" and she said yes and then put her finger to her lips to be quiet and said "sleeping." Apparently we needed to be quiet because there was a sleeping bear in the tree! Funny kid! I guess we watch a bit too much Winnie the Pooh!
Later that night, Spencer brought out the telescope. Everyone loved looking at the moon and later that night Spence checked out Jupiter (everyone else was asleep, including me, so no pictures of that!). We were a bit worried about how the kiddos would do in the tent, especially after last year, but they were awesome!
Lucy actually told us she wanted to go to bed and Sammy fell asleep not long afterward. He woke up once about 5 am but fell back asleep after I feed him until morning. We had a great time and look forward to doing this again next year!

How fun! Nathan went to our ward campout but I had other commitments and didn't make it.
Your kids are so cute. Glad you had a better camping experience than us. Ben does have the same "Happy Camper" shirt as Sammy though. Glad you're having an awesome summer. Hopefully we'll see you sometime soon.
You ward camp out looks like so much fun! Glad your kids did great. I love that picture of Sammy and his nice warm hat :)
