Singing around the campfire. Jacobs favorite songs are
Going camping, camping, camping out under the stars and I love the Mountains!
He is my boy alright.
We finally had a cake and officially celebrated Jacob's birthday.
We decided to fit another camping trip in for the year, but we decided just a few days before the weekend and all of the campground spots were completely booked everywhere. We ended up dry camping off of a dirt road up above Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. We actually loved our spot, except the dust and noise from all of the motorcycles and atv's that went by. The little area where we were hanging out was down away from the dust and noise though. We were down by a stream and the kids had so much fun playing in the water. Nathan make two little pools for them to play in. They also panned for gold. We didn't strike it rich, but we had a fun time trying.
We hiked to Timanogos cave. We were worried if we would make it, but they kids did awesome. Jacob even hiked a lot of the way. Mark did give him a piggy back part of the way, but overall he hiked the majority of the way. We had his leash/backpack on him so he wouldn't fall off the cliffs. We had a fun trip through the cave. We say flying bats inside. The ranger said that was the first time in her 10 years at the cave that she saw flying bats. The kids thought that was pretty cool. We loved seeing all of the formations. We went to the Jr. ranger program and the kids earned their badges. We also went to a gold panning class with the ranger. It was such a fun trip. I love American Fork canyon! I spent so much time there as a kid camping with my family and it was great to take my kids there to experience the fun.

That was such a fun trip and an awesome site. We'll have to go there again when it's warm enough to really get in the water and play. Maybe next time we will strike it rich.
