Camping Bust.

Andy and I wanted to go camping really bad last weekend.

(6/15-6/16)

We asked a few people if they wanted to go with us,

but due to it being pretty short notice, no one could.

A few years ago, Andy went to this place to camp with some friends that was up American Fork Canyon.

So that's where we were headed.

We knew in advance that we had to have a 4-wheel drive truck to get up there,

so we borrowed my parents truck.

We had to wait for Vince and Katie to be done using it, so we didn't get to head up until about 6:30-7:00pm.

Emily and her boyfriend John, decided they'd follow us up and eat dinner and roast mallows with us,

then just come back that night.

By the time we got up there close, the road was pretty bumpy,

Belle was anxious and John's car wasn't the best for the terrain.

So we all turned around and headed back home to just have a fire in the backyard.

Pictures from the drive up/back!

Utah is GORGEOUS!

I always take the funniest pictures of Belle! Haha!

But you can see Emily and John following us in the backround.

I didn't get any pictures of the backyard, but we set up the firepit in Andy's parents backyard.

Then we pitched the tent as well!

We roasted some mallows, some Starburst, and Andy cooked a couple TV dinners.

When we were ready for bed, Emily and John left and we got in the tent and went to bed.

It was a lot of fun to sleep in the backyard!

We got up in the morning and cooked breakfast inside, then got all showered and cleaned up.

I really wanted to go hiking so we decided that we'd get cleaned up a little and head up Provo Canyon.

We took Belle again, because Andy knew a hike that was perfect for her.

This isn't where we went, we went about 1/2 mile north of Bridal Veil Falls.

The Upper Falls.

Belle would run up in front of us, then stop and see if we were still coming.

When we got to the water, she just ran and got in.

She was soo happy!

By the end, when we were driving home,

Belle was so tired she laid in the backseat the whole drive home!

Such a fun day, even though Camping was a bust...

we'll just have to try again some other time!!

Love,

B & A
