October Weekend: Camping and Harvest Party

On Friday evening we met up with James and his kids and Greg and Mary and their girls in American Fork Canyon to camp over night. James let us borrow his Land Rover, so we could take our trailer up there. I think that was our third time using our trailer in 5 years. Too bad we don't have a car to pull the trailer because it was really nice to be able to take it. I never grew up going camping with a trailer, so I've always been pretty partial with the trailer. It was really nice though to take it and be able to all sleep nice and warm all through the night. We really need to do that again.

Myles was so excited to sleep in the trailer that he insisted on going to bed. I don't even know what time it was, but I'm sure it was before his normal bed time. I didn't bring any books to read to him and he insisted on a book. I was able to find an Aurthur coloring book that had a little message for each page and that sufficed him.

The next morning we had pancakes for breakfast and went fishing. Matt and Myles were so excited to go fishing. Myles has been talking about going fishing all summer. Even though they didn't catch anything I think they still had a good time. The temperature was nearly perfect (upper 60's). It was just a nice day to be up in the mountains on a fall afternoon.

Sitting at the camp fire Friday night. This is the only picture I took the entire time up there. I'm kind of sad about that because it was so beautiful, but sometimes I don't like being caught up taking pictures the entire time that I'm not actually enjoying the moment that I am in.

On Saturday evening we drove up to Lois and Ron's place for their annual Harvest Party. Just like every year it was so much fun. The soups, scones, hot chocolate, and desserts were not a disappointment. We had a great time on the hayride, feeding the fish, jumping on the trampoline, breaking the pinata, and visiting with family. I love getting together at this event every year. The weather was so nice the entire time. We only needed a jacket once the sun went down.
