Here I am behind on my blogging as usual.

I made a goal a few months back to blog

daily or at least weekly.

I believe that lasted a few days.

Life...

keeps getting in the way of all the things

I really want to do.

So... let's back things up here a bit

and rewind to the beginning of August.

Starting with our overnight camping trip

at Hope Campground, near Squaw Peak.

(up Provo Canyon)

... 

I have always enjoyed the outdoors

but my dear sweet husband does not.

(Just one of our many differences. ) 

Also to give the  poor guy a break; 

he works a bajillion zillion hours.

He doesn't have time to go camping. 

:(

So taking matters into my own hands

I summoned my Mother to help me out.

Now, my Mom....

 being the amazing & talented lady she is;

 not only helped make this happen 

she made our camp out awesome!!!!

She reserved a nice spot for us.

She planned and prepared all our food.

She set up a scavenger hunt for the boys.

She brought all the camping gear.

(including tiki torches)

She scouted out a hike for us.

She brought Dan as our male role model,

camp bodyguard and good company. :)

She took lots and lots of pictures.

All I did was:

 Pack over night bags for the boys.

Show up!

Did I mention how amazing my Mom is????

Seriously, she made that trip so awesome.

Thank you Mom!

Now brace yourselves people....

I have many pictures to share.

:)

Yea! We are camping! Yea! Yea!

Unloading the car & set up.

Mom packed everything a person needs
to go camping. It was great!

Instead of unloading the car the boys were
already off doing their own thing.
Don't worry. We ruined their fun and
made them come help. :)

Next they were off gathering kindling for the fire.

Cody is stepping up to take
Trevor's place as Lord of the Fire.

Either Landen is teeny tiny or that kindling is a bit large???

Crew was excited to find this rubber band in the dirt.

He was also excited to find a nice spot to relax.

Okay....
I am so sick of this post.
Have had it open for a week now.
Ha!
Maybe another day???
Sorry, what you see is what you get.
