24th of July - Camping!!

So here in Utah, July 24th is a holiday (celebrating the date when the pioneers entered the valley) so we get work off!! This year, we started by doing some fireworks in front of Tyson's parents house. Tyson runs the show and the rest of us sit back and watch - here are some favorites.




The next day, we packed up Tyson's parents camping trailer and drove up the Mirror Lake Highway to spend the rest of the weekend camping with Tyson's sister & her family (Tyson's parents and sister Megan went up to Mount Rushmore). We ended up getting REALLY lucky and found two campsites right next to each other by Trial Lake. We were so happy to have the trailer because it rained and rained one night - sure beats the tent!!
Ethan and Alex testing out the water

I guess the water was nice enough to get in!
So there was a hole in one of the rocks by our campsite, so Alex and I decided it would be fun to put something in it so see if it would fit. Alex suggested his Sunny Delight bottle and he put it in and it slipped really far into the hole - oops!!

Ethan trying his hardest to get the thing out - the next day Tyson got the end of a wire coat hanger really hot and poked the lid and it came right out - totally making the boys day! ( I missed all the action, sorry no picture of the final result!)
Aubrynn's first camping trip - very exciting for her:)
Thanks for letting us borrow the trailer!!!
