July 4th (kind of) Camping Tradition

A couple of years ago we started a tradition of going camping on the 4th of July. This year we went on the night of the 2nd. After driving the entire Alpine Loop looking an empty camping site, I decided to just go back to the same camp site we had two years ago. We went to Hope Campground up Provo Canyon. It is just of Squaw Peak Road which means it is only about 20-30 minutes from our house.

Not only do we enjoy the camping aspect of this tradition, but the fact that we get to enjoy time with our friends the Koellikers makes it an even better time. In my opinion the best part about camping is staying up late laughing around the campfire. Especially when Eric makes Rob laugh while Rob is eating a roasted Marshmallow...haha.










Rob and Erin...Thank You for the good times, Let's do it again next year.

Love,
Tamber

Camping

We had the chance to go camping in southern Utah this weekend. We went with a group of about 15 adults and 6 kids from Eric's side of the family. Our family had a lot of fun. It was Emma's first real camping trip. We went once last year, but she doesnt really remember it. This time she had a lot of frineds that she could run around and get dirty with. We went south near Richfield to a place near Fish Lake. I was a little distrought at first when I discovered that camp fires were banned because I didnt know how I could live without smore's on a camping trip. By the end of the weekend I was discovering that even though I smelt really bad it was quite nice not to smell like a camp fire.
Even though the trip was fun, there isn't anything more divine than coming home from camping and taking a shower and sleeping in your own bed.
