Camping ... Finally!

We finally were able to go camping for the third time this year!  We went with some friends to Wasatch State Mountain Park.  It was pouring rain when we arrived there, but we managed to set up the trailer with only minor leakage.  It cleared up the next morning and we went down to the visitors center where the kids tried their hands at fishing.  We also went to Cascade Springs, enjoyed the campfire, played at the campground, and ate yummy food, of course.

Campground fun = dancing on the table, digging in the dirt, and eating donuts

Throwing Rocks

One Sunday evening we decided to head up the canyon to enjoy the cool air and throw some rocks in the river.  The girls insisted on wearing their pajamas which was fine by me since it was close to bedtime.  We all had fun throwing rocks in the river, it just never gets old :)

Lost Tooth ... Literally

The other day Addie showed us that her bottom tooth was super loose, I couldn't believe it!  In my mind she is still my little girl how could she possibly have a loose tooth?  We told her to watch for it to fall out and keep it so the tooth fairy could visit her.  The next day I realized she had lost her tooth and asked her where it was, she didn't even realize she had lost it!  We figured she swallowed it, because we searched the house for it and couldn't find it anywhere.  I told her to leave a note under her pillow and the tooth fairy would still visit her.  Addie asked what the tooth fairy would bring, I said most likely a quarter, to which she replied "why"?  I asked her what she thought the tooth fairy would bring and she said, "On 'Super Why' she brought a toothbrush and toothpaste", so I told her maybe that is what the tooth fairy will bring you too.  The tooth fairy pulled through and left an Aerial toothbrush and princess toothpaste under her pillow.  Addie was so excited and loves brushing her teeth.  I still can't believe she has lost her first tooth!

Capitol Reef

Over Labor Day weekend we had the Jensen family reunion at Capitol Reef National Park.  We stayed in Torrey, a little town outside of the park.  We ate yummy food, hiked, took a scenic drive, tried some geocaching, went swimming, and enjoyed spending time together.
Our car died at the gas station a mile from our house so the girls enjoyed donuts while Andrew figured out what was wrong.  We finally made it to Torrey and enjoyed lunch at Slackers Burger Joint.
We went on the Hickman Bridge hike.  After we enjoyed dinner at the park and Izze stood guard over the sodas!
After church on Sunday we went on a scenic drive through the park.  Then we tried our hand at geocaching, which didn't go so well for some of us so we went swimming instead.
The cousins had fun coloring in the hall of the hotel.  On our way out of town we hit Slackers one more time, yum!
Almost all of the Jensen Family.  We had a such a fun time and can't wait for next year!
