That night we put Logan to sleep, and went to see the fireworks at Sugar House park. Dave insists it's not the 4th of July unless you see fireworks. For me it's not the 4th unless you go camping and since growing up we did our camping in Canada, we didn't always see the fireworks.
Thursday we were supposed to go camping in American Fork Canyon... but there was a fire and they closed the canyon for about 4 days. So our reservations were canceled! So instead we drove up to the Albion Basin, set up our tent in the pouring rain, and sat in it for 3 hours. Logan was miserable and all our stuff was soaked, so we packed up and went home. We set our tent up on the gazebo to dry out, and tried again on Friday night.
The weather was perfect when we got up there again Friday afternoon! And it was so beautiful up there. There was tons of black dirt for Logan to get filthy crawling through. Everything was lush and green, and the fields were covered with wild flowers. We even saw a moose as we were hiking.
We hiked up to Cecret Lake, ate a snack, and Logan had a blast playing in the water. He was completely soaked by the time we left. He kept splashing and scooting his bum closer and closer to the water until he was sitting in it. The water was freezing, so I don't know how he could stand it!
That night we made our dinner, it rained for a half hour, then we built a huge fire and ate smores! Logan didn't love the smores, but Dave and I sure did. We (including Logan) went to sleep around 10.
The next day Logan was up again around 5 so we started the day really early. We made a manly breakfast, then packed up and went on another hike. Since Logan refused to nap in the tent either day, he was exhausted and super cranky for this hike. He fell asleep on the way to the lake, but cried almost the whole hike back.
This hike went to Lake Catherine, and it was georgous, even if we didn't hike down to the lake itself (someone was insanely grumpy by this point). It was only a mile and a half hike with a 800 ft elevation gain, so not too bad.
The rest of the weekend was uneventful, except that I'm ALMOST done with my quilting class quilt. I worked like crazy on the top Sunday and Monday. Mom came over Tuesday and we figured out what we were going to do to replace the too cute-sie applique.
We picked a leaf design, I've cut out the pieces, and just need to add some white to the background and I can finish up the top. I'm so excited for it all to be done. It's going to be cute and done hopefully just in time for the fall.
