I Crashed the Party . . .

. . . and they let me stay!  

Dad and the boys are camping up in Cottonwood Canyon right now.  They left on Tuesday so I drove up yesterday to see how they're doing.  They're having a blast.  Dad told me he's really enjoying the boys.  Here's what we did last night and this morning.

First, Ethan and Burke took me on a hike.  The first stop was this beaver pond that is near the camp site.  

We played around at the beaver pond for a little while.

Then we hiked some more.

When we got back to camp, Taylor and Dad were working on the fire.  When it was ready we had . . .

s'mores!

When we finished with s'mores Dad put a hollow log they had found on the fire.  What a show!

Then we stayed up talking until dark.

This morning, after breakfast, we went for a drive.  At one point, there were rocks all over the road so the boys got out and moved them.  They had lots of fun.

This is what we saw at the end of the road:

After that, they fished in the beaver pond for a little while.

Then we played games for a while.  We played Would You Rather and laughed a lot.  I left at about lunch time.  It was great to see them having such a good time!
