Memorial Weekend

Memorial Weekend- The Spruces campground

Me and Ryan and our boys, Chris and Marley and Ryans brother Brennan went up Big Cottonwood Canyon Memorial Weekend for our first camping trip of the year. We had a good time but ended up leaving a day early because of rain.

We were suprised when we arrived and there was a huge snow block about the size of a car on our campsite, but that didnt stop us.

Chris, Marley and Colton chillin by the fire.
It wasn't as cold as it looks I thought it actually felt really nice.

Of course we forgot our axe, so we had to use a shovel to cut our wood. :)

Chris' turn

Venturing out into the wilderness

You can do it Marley!

Colton thought it was so cool he had to walk across logs and jump across streams, he had so much fun!

Chris and Marleys tent

It was ridiculously huge, and high tech. When it started raining in the middle of the night our tent was leaking and dripping on my face, I called Chris to see if there tent was doing the same and theirs was still dry so we all moved over to their tent and fit fine and still had room for possible two more people. Good pick of a tent dad! It even had like a little vent/opening in the back that said in case you wanted to reach out of it in the middle of the night and grab a drink or something out of the cooler. I dont think I have ever seen such a cool tent!

Woops Ryan you got smore on your face.

And this is how our camping trip ended, at my house with treats and sleeping bags and games.
We tried to stick it out but everything was getting soaked, we couldnt start a fire, our food was all wet and chairs and I dont think the kids could handle sitting in the tent all day.

We had a good time!!
