Camping and other odds and ends

Last night we headed up Little Cottonwood Canyon to meet up with Russ and Amy Adams. It was Whitney's birthday and they (along with family) were camping one night to celebrate the occasion. It was so beautiful up there.
So the ride up was a bit interesting. Part way up the canyon Tanner announced that his tummy didn't feel so well, so we pulled over and he puked on the side of the road! Lovely! Luck for me I had a canvas bag in the back of the car for the other two times he threw up and forgot to tell us. By the time we got there he felt fine and was playing with the other kids.
When we got there poor Whitney was sick with a fever. She was snuggled with Dad and looked so miserable...what a Happy Birthday, Sweetie! But soon she too was feeling a bit better and got up to play.
Here she is with Grandma Heiner.
I couldn't resist a picture of Baby Logan. I think he is one of the cutest little kids I have ever seen.

Here is a shot of the whole group. We made yummy tin foil dinners and Grandpa Adams brought the yummiest corn ever!!!!
I was trying very hard to keep a good eye on the kids, but also trying not to be overly protective. Well, at one point I noticed Ady was missing. There was a small stream, so I headed there first. There was also a huge grove of trees up by the cars, so Charles headed taht way. He soon announced he'd found her and she popped out of the trees and said, "Nah, Nah, Nah, Nah you can't find me!" I was slightly irritated, but also a bit amused.
Heather Heiner took Aiden for a small walk and happened upon a moose! The kids were so thrilled to go see it. This is a close up, it really was quite far away. There was also a large rodent running around and it didn't look like a squirrel or a chipmunk, so I asked around to see what it was. Everyone just said a chipmunk, but I knew it wasn't. I also couldn't get a good picture because my kids kept running after it. Matthew even tried feeding it cheetos...ugh! Well on the ride home I was talking to Davis and he said it was a potgut (I think!) So where was he when I asked earlier?!?!?! Oh well!!!

Being the wonderful Mother that I am, I couldn't pass up a chance to take a picture of all three of my kids. Well, as most know, it is very difficult to get 3 kids to cooperate, especially when there is a stream less than a foot away. I took about 6 shots and this was my favorite, partial because Tanner was a bit bored and trying to be silly.
Jumping on rocks!


And last but not least. Tanner started 2nd grade on Monday. Yesterday he brought home a poster and one of the pictures caught my eye. He did a very good job with Ady's curly hair. But I couldn't stop laughing at the drawing of DAD! I just HAD to show Davis, who promptly told Tanner....I'm not bald like THAT!!!! (Yes you are sweetie!)
