Summer Camping

We took our 2nd camping trip of the season June 30-July 1st. up American Fork Canyon at Granite Flats Campground. Being the holiday weekend we were pushing it trying to get a campsite.  We figured we'd be fine for Thursday night, but Friday was the question, but we were determined to find us a site!  This is what we got for the 1st night.  Perfect, we'll definately come back to this specific site again.

 Darn, I uploaded the wrong pic, sorry.  You can see the large deer in the right background, it walked right up through our site!  We saw them everywhere.

 Allstar loved eating at the table for a couple days.  We're looking for the little portable chair only kind for cheap to take around with us.

 This was Friday morning.  Determined I tell ya!  We found the 1 and only site open and took 3 trips to move our stuff.  Takes a bit longer when you have a toddler.

 We hiked around Silver Lake, which was beautiful.  We normally would do a big hike, but paking a 22lb toddler around and being 6 months pregnant just isn't as easy!

Father and Son, so precious.  Spencer teaching Allstar the ropes on throwing rocks into the water, loving it, of course.

 Allstar LOVED this backback, riding on daddy's back.

 Our site for the 2nd night.  So not as good, but we were willing to take anything.  Our tent was too big for the 2 tent spots in the trees, so we had to settle on pavement, which was easier w/a baby anyway.

 Don't forget about the smores.  Both nights.  With extra Chocolate, Reeses and marshmallows!

This was our first overnighter, with some friends.  We were supposed to go up American Fork canyon, but there was snow where our reservation was so we got cancelled.  We finally found an open site at Utah Lake State Park.  Woo!  Definately not in the mountains, but we got to camp.  Used Spencer's parent's tent trailer, testing that out to see how we like that compared to a tent this summer.

He LOVES dogs!!!

We've got a 5-day planned to Teton National park this month, then a 3-day in Payson Lakes next month with some friends. We are SO happy to be out again.  Last summer w/a baby made it more difficult.  This year with a toddler still has difficult moments, but he has done awesome so far, sleeping through the nights and enjoying the great outdoors with us!
