Granite Flats Campout

We finally made it on a campout with the Jarvis family. Our plans for camping don't always get followed through. This was on a Saturday night, July 25th. Scott not having to come from work actually made it possible to get there before the kids were ready for bed. We went to Granite Flats Campground above Tibble Fork Reservoir in American Fork Canyon. It was a large campground and so beautiful. The temperature was perfect and made it so enjoyable. We set up camp, had a delicious dutch oven dinner, played in the dirt, took a walk, made s'mores, and went to bed in the tents. This was Rubie's first camping experience. By the time Eric was 1 year old, he had already camped at least 3 times. Rubie did really well though. Scott and Eric slept in the two man tent, and Rubie and mom slept in our bigger tent. Rubie slept in a crib most of the night, but then early morning woke and ended up in mom's sleeping bag. In the morning Scott made a great breakfast for all of us to enjoy. We packed up and made it back home in time for church.
