Terrys: 0, Mother Nature: 2

I didn't blog about our camping trip last year, but long story short: It was the beginning of June, we planned to go 2 nights and ended up leaving VERY early in the morning after the first night. This is why:

That's right. It snowed. It was freezing. So we left for the comfort of our warm home. We might have stayed for the next night if Lily wasn't with us, but she was so little and so cold! So Mother Nature won.

We decided to give camping a try again this year. We went up Spanish Fork Canyon with Andrew & Brittney and Chad & Clair for Memorial Day weekend. Leading up to it, the forecast looked awesome. No chance of rain whatsoever. And then Thursday came and everything changed. It rained practically all weekend. The rain was so bad on Saturday night that it started leaking through our tent. We didn't have any extra tarps (we had used them all up for shelter over the tables), so Jonny and I chose to drive the girls home. We bought a tarp for our tent the next day and didn't have any more problems. We had a ton of fun though! I'd call this one leaning slightly more toward the 'Mother Nature' winning side.

I'm so glad Jonny thinks he's cool. :)

Chad caught a rattlesnake and skinned it...


Then cooked it, and we ate some of it! It was chewy...


What a proud man.

Lily would do this every time she walked by the fire.


"Here's a pretty flower I picked just for you, Mommy!"


No comment.

Clair "cheesing"

Wow, it must have been early.
This is one of the only pictures of me. I love being the one behind the camera!
