Camping in Snow Canyon


We decided on the spur of the moment on Monday that it was time for Ada to have her first camping experience. We have wanted to go camping for awhile, and so by golly we went! It was so much fun. We have lived here for 4 years and still haven't camped at Snow Canyon. So we went and it was a blast. The kids . . . okay and I . . . played on the rocks and in the sand, we cooked some tinfoil dinners, and roasted marshmallows. It was perfect. The kids slept great, and the only incident we had was when Drew woke up at 4:30 after wetting his sleeping bag. But don't worry as prepared as Lamon and I are we remembered to bring an extra pair of pajamas! We forgot an extra pair of underwear unfortunately . . . but hey, we are improving!The boys slept great though, and Ada slept from 10:00 until 7:30 this morning! It was great! We love camping! And we are so glad the kids do too!

  1. Mary, you little ones are so cute. I love coming to your blog. It's like I'm still a close friend even though I moved so far away.
    I'll be in Utah for awhile later this month thru June. I'd love to hang out for a day. Maybe go to the zoo or something. Let me know ok?
    your friend,

  4. your family is so cute! and you guys are so impressive! dave and i are scared to take our kids camping...a few years back we took izak and it was the WORST experience ever. he went to sleep but then kept waking up so we'd have to drive around to get him back to sleep and then when we'd put him back in his tent he'd wake right back up and we'd have to do it all over again. at around 3am we finally gave up and took him to my sister's house to sleep (about 30 min. away, luckily!). it was awful. we've been a little scared ever since to go camping...we're so glad you found our blog! we'll be checking yours out regularly, it's so cute!

  5. You guys are brave! My inlaws want to do a camping trip over memorial day weekend, and both Don and I don't think so.

    The landscape where you guys went is lovely. Great pictures!

  6. I am glad that Ada is learning to feed the fire early in life. I am proud of you guys striving to instill that in your children at an early age. We are so excited for you guys to be up. We will have to plan some fun adventures.

    Congrats on your job Lamon. I still need to talk to you about it.
