Ryan celebrated the BIG birthday! He turned 16 which means that he can date and get his license. He is currently taking drivers' ed and could have his license in just a few weeks. There are MANY girls hoping that he will ask them out!
Seth, Cam, Maddy, and I backpacked to a camping spot about a mile from our house, overlooking Orem. It was beautiful! On the way up a thunderstorm was blowing in and nearly blew us off the mountain. However, it calmed down enough for Cam and Seth to track down and catch exotic insects (like grasshoppers).
Maddy set up some sticks to hold her pot over the fire. We decided, however, to use the camp stove to make our macaroni and cheese, oatmeal, and hot chocolate.
Cam brought his football on the trip and we played catch.
A highlight of the trip was being able to build a fire, which we enjoyed late into the night, before the big rains came.
We were treated to a beautiful sunset (sailor's delight) right before a torrential thunderstorm pelted us through several hours during the night.

Sounds like fun. Did you have any moose try and knock down the tent? Did anyone fall into a watering trough? Those are some of the things I remember backpacking close to home in Green Canyon. Have a great one!
Looks like a fun trip! I just looked up "sailors delight" -- very interesting.
Do you think Ryan will allow a blog about his first date? :)
