Believe it or not..but it is still super hot in September...
We went camping with the Davis family (Brent's sisters family) a little north of Payson to escape the heat and get a little closer to nature...It was nice and cool up there and we quite surprised how cool it got once the sun went down... It always seems silly packing up warmer clothing and sleeping bags when it's over 100 degrees and you're still sweating loading up the car.
We had to purchase a new tent this year, since our 16 year old one we bought when we first got married died at scout camp this summer. :( While we were setting up the new 2 room tent, my nephew Hyrum started chatting with me....
"Aunt Anna...You and uncle Brent have a re--eeeally big tent and it has doors!" Hyrum says..
"Yup..it's pretty big Hyrum" I say
"Aunt Anna....but ours is much better than yours, because we put ours up faster than you....did you need some help?"......
Awww...that little Hyrum.... :)
After packing up all of camping gear, we all headed up to Fossil Creek. Brent said it was a dirt road but that it wouldn't be too bad.... wrong-o! It was one of the scariest roads I'd ever been on. I tried not looking over the edge and not panicking...It was my SUV's first time on a road like that and I'm sure it won't be it's last considering Brent's our ward Scoutmaster....
Once we arrived to our final destination and hiked for a bit...This was our reward!!!
