Camping Trip

Last week, Brian and I went camping with some of our really good friends.

Michelle was my roommate for all 4 years of college. She and her husband, Devin, and daughter, Ava, were in town for the week. We've been planning this since we hung out with them in Boise a few months ago.
Jill came with us too! She was our roommate for only 1 semester of college, but she still practically lived with us cuz we still did everything together. I was so excited to hang out with my girls again!! (Danielle and Ash- we missed you!)
(And, yes, I know I have the control to only post good pictures of myself . . . but I couldn't find another one with just us 3 girls- so the climbing-up-a-mountain, red-faced pic will have to do.)

We decided on Little Cottonwood Canyon- mostly so we could get some rock-climbing in for Brian! But the place we found to climb was actually really stupid. It has such a weird slope (I think they call it slab climbing). But there was nothing to hold on to! So it was pretty much just pushing yourself up with your feet while praying that you don't slip! This was our first and last slab climb.

The good thing about this spot, though, was that it had a gorgeous waterfall right next to the place we were climbing on the rock.

Here's our beautiful campsite- just next to a little river. So pretty!:
Here's Brian's favorite pic from the camping trip:

Here's my favorite pic from our camping trip:

Here's Brian looking at the mountain where the pioneers quarried the huge blocks of granite for the Salt Lake Temple.

And here's my sweet husband, who after 2 long days of camping, refused to let me carry any of the gear back up to our 3rd floor condo. And, being as buff as he is, he made it in only 2 trips!!
