Last weekend we went camping with our friends the Pickups. We headed up American Fork Canyon and it was beautiful. I think we were all just happy to be outside since it actually stopped raining for the first time in like two weeks!
Our campsite was awesome. There was a stream about 10 feet behind our tent and there were wildflowers everywhere. I had not been "camping" since I went with my dad many years ago, so it was a fun little adventure. We had tinfoil dinners and s'mores with Reeses Peanut Butter Cups in place of the Hershey bars (delicious!). I knew we were taking a big risk taking a 5 1/2 month-old, but Jackson did great. He actually went to bed a little earlier than usual and woke up around 4:30 a.m. All I had to do to get him to fall back asleep was hold his hand :) I think he slept better than I did because I couldn't stop worrying about stupid bears! Sean was nice and cozy in his new sleeping bag I bought for him for Father's Day. Testing it out at REI:
Simon and Jackson playing around-- Simon enjoyed finding big rocks and putting them in his mouth :)
We woke up to rain on Saturday morning so we ended up packing our stuff up a little early and taking a drive up to the trail head for Forest Lake. The road was pretty gnarly but needless to say, Sean loved it. We took a group shot Saturday morning on Brian's camera, so I'll post that pic. when I get it!

Very cool that he cooperated so well! You're raising a little camper :) And that sleeping bag is sweet! I'm jealous. Well, I'm off to girls camp...wish me luck
Camping with babies is fun! It's nice that he did so good. Sounds like you had a great campsite!
Looks like you are having a way fun summer. Jackson is so dang cute. I love those dimples!
That's great the jackson will still sleep next to you. When I try to sleep with Whitney she just wants to play.
