We celebrated Steve's birthday at Granite Flats in the American Fork Canyon... camping! The kids & I got Steve a tent for his birthday and decided this would be a fun, but challenging (with two small kids) time to use it! We picked out a perfect spot next to the mountain, plopped our tent down & set up camp for 30 hours. Our time was spent by taking walks by the stream, relaxing by the campfire, gorging ourselves with junk food (including birthday cake), meeting new friends & watching Kate fall in the dirt umpteen times. We had such a fun time together laughing & celebrating Steve's special day!

Being "three" with nature.
Chandler hanging out in his pack-n-play. Kate keeping busy with bubbles.
Kate stuffing her face with Cheetos & Chan wishing he could have some.
Feeding Chan... camping style.
Enjoying our yummy tin foil dinners & roasted corn on the cob.
The birthday boy blowing out his candles! 
Staying warm by the fire.
Good morning sleepy heads... they slept until 8am! 
Steve & Kate by Tibble Fork Reservoir. 
Yes, this is what her face looked like 90% of the time!
Kate loved to throw rocks in this beautiful stream.
The botanist in the family.
One dirty, but happy family!

a birthday cake in the woods? i'm impressed with your campfire baking skills.
you are brave camping with little ones. i tried it once with just one little one and haven't been back since. we'll look forward to camping in [more than] a few years.
camping is the very best... especially where you were.. it's gorgeous!! love all the pictures!
