The girls were a little ok, a lot nervous to go backpacking with all the recent fires; but the boys assured us that we would be safe! SO, after the awesome freedom Run race...off we went!
This was the first time we have ever gone backpacking as a family so we decided Leo needed to join in on the fun!
cooling off...
After hiking 3 miles trying to find a place to stay; we found the PERFECT camping spot!
It ended up being a camp for the Provo School District with wooden planks for the tents, running water and port-potties...THIS IS THE LIFE!
We enjoyed eating our dehydrated meals; Mac and Cheese for Em and Chicken Teriyaki for the rest of us...
We all enjoyed a GREAT night sleep!
After taking to the trails for a run; we spent the morning chatting, and laughing in our tent waiting for the rain to stop. After about 2 hours we decided it wasn't going to happen. SO we packed up and hiked down in the rain.
The perfect, warm, summer, kind of rain!
The perfect, warm, summer, kind of rain!
LIFE IS GOOD!
This will be a trip long remembered...The girls and I are grateful we put our fears aside to take on this great new adventure!

What a fabulous adventure! You guys are so cool. I've only thought about doing that while you guys actually did it.
I've heard Big Springs is a good snow shoeing trail. We'll have to try it out this winter...
I'm so impressed!!! I can't wait to get together so we can hear more details!
Who took the pics of the whole family?
AWESOME!! What a great Family
activity. What a Family, we can't
believe you guys you always come up
with the greatest ideas. We also
wondered who took the family picture . I said Matt probably set the camera and then ran and got just perfect, or someone was there to take it. Anyway the pictures are priceless.
Love all the way from the Philippines
