First family backpacking trip

We went on our fist family backpacking trip up Grizzly Gulch near Alta.  Mace was really excited because we let him drive the car on the dirt road for a little bit.

As parents, your option was to carry two boys...

 or a backpack with 4 pads, 4 sleeping bags, a tent, and clothes for 4.

We got up there later than we had planned, but at least we were able to watch a beautiful sunset.

 



Here is a picture of our tent we took right before getting in for the night.


We told stories, sang songs, and made faces until we thought it was time to sleep...

and then we started a horrible night of listening to Cruz moan and cry pretty much all night long.  He is teething and we think he was in pain.  We probably didn't sleep more than 1 hour at a time.

Here are some pictures from my camera phone. Tears all the way up the canyon. Smiles all the way home. Cruz took two longs naps after we got home. Thank goodness! :)
