Memorial Day Weekend

On Friday, May 24th, after working in the office, I came home and we left to go up to East Canyon to go camping until Sunday.  

Hudson asleep earlier that day.  Beautiful ride up the canyon.  

We made it that night, set up camp, and got ready for bed.

The next morning it was raining so we took a drive.  We went over to the Mormon Pioneer Trail.  It was a really pretty area.  I'm sure the pioneers were happy to finally see the SLC valley.

Enjoying the drive.  Sandhill Cranes.

More fun on the drive, then back at camp.  The Sequoia got just a little muddy :)

The water from the rain came down off the camper and filled up Piper's water dish.  

There were sheep grazing up on the hillside.

We played some games in the camper while it continued to rain after we got back.  Jeff/Kim's family came up a little later, then Stacie/Phill came up as well.  Since it was still raining, we decided to go over to the little town of Morgan for some hot chocolate.  Carter and Hudson asleep on the way.

Beautiful scenery.  Hudson stayed asleep for a quite a while.

Thankfully after we got back the rain pretty much stopped.  The kids wanted to try fishing.  

We then got our spaghetti dinner ready.

Hudson loves to play w/ his cousins (hanging out w/ Cameron).  

Yummy spaghetti Phill and Jeff.  Warming up by the fire.

Hudson checking out Cameron's bed in the back of the Jeep.  Kim enjoying a S'more.  

Hudson just took off w/ the chocolate; silly kid :)

Our cute little camper.  It looks so small compared to most.  Warming up by the fire. Playing games.

Beautiful sunset.  Silly tongues (Alexa, Claire and Carter).  

Making a sad face is genetic: Alexa, Claire, Phill, Steve, Jeff and Stacie.

Pretty sunset.  The kids playing.  Hudson's pooping face.

Breakfast the next morning.  Beautiful view!

We packed up after breakfast and headed home.  There was still snow in parts.  So pretty!

It was a little cool this first camping trip, but we were thankful for our little camper to keep us warm and dry (it definitely makes camping easier and more enjoyable).  We didn't have hookups at this campground, so we were glad we had the inverter and solar panels working.  Overall it was still a fun camping trip!

We then unpacked, then went over and had dinner w/ Dave/Joann that night.  We then went to visit a cemetery by their house and put pinwheels by the graves.  

Silly Hudson w/ a helmet on while watching a show. Putting pinwheels on the graves.  Steve and Dave helping push Joann on the grass.  Carter by Joann's brother's grave (Alan Carter Jensen).  Carter's middle name is Alan, named after him.
