Lower Provo River - our campsite!
Ellie for the first time in the tent.
Snuggled up for a cold night... now it's time to take those layers off!
Isn't she beautiful?
So interested in everything outside.
We took Ellie on her first camping trip this week. We were really hoping to make a trip down to southern Utah, but unfortunately they are currently have flash floods. We decided not to wander into that danger zone... Instead, we headed for the beautiful Wasatch Mountains and camped alongside the Lower Provo River (literally alongside). One of my favorite memories of the trip is Seth getting out of the car to check out a campsite and skipping back toward us asking, "Can we camp here, please!?!" I didn't realize it at the time, but the river ran beside our campsite on two sides. Seth had a great time using his brand new fly fishing rod while we were out. He even caught one tasty treat for us! :)
Eleanor did great during our trip. She was mild mannered in the car, chill while outside, loved staring at the trees and fire, and slept well as normal. I was fairly concerned about her warmth at night, since it got fairly cold, but she seemed to handle it just fine. Luckily, I hadn't yet packed all her fleecy jammies, etc, so we had a pretty cute, bundled-up bug on our hands.
It was nice to get our fill of marshmellows and hotdogs, the outdoors and campfires in the midst of this crazy time. Hopefully we'll be able to get in a few more camping trips this fall, once we've settled ourselves a bit in Sheridan. I hear the Big Horn Mountains are beautiful in the autumn and have some great hiking, fishing and camping.

I was SOOO excited to see new posts from you so I started from the bottom to get all caught up :) And in answer to your question under one of Ellie's pictures....YES she is soooo beautiful!!! I'm so glad you were able to get away and relax a little!
That sounds like it was a great trip! I'm glad you're taking Ellie on so many adventures. I just goes to show that those fun things don't have to go on hold just because there's a baby in the picture.
