Camping with JT

There's never a dull moment while camping with JT. Just the two of us went up Friday night up Farmington Canyon. We had a great time! We had an awesome tin foil dinner and we roasted marshmallows that night. Incidentally, that same night Jonathan Sanchez pitched the first no-hitter thrown by a Giant in my lifetime - Go Giants! Anyway, that morning we made some perfect pancakes - pancakes seem to taste 10 times better while camping. With JT's help, we made friends with the family in the site next to us (a dad and 3 daughters), and they invited us to go on their hike with them. They showed us the way to a cool waterfall, which was just the perfect length hike for JT. Upon taking down camp, we took the long way home driving the Sienna all the way over Skyline Drive which amounted to 20 miles of dirt road through some of the most spectacular country in the Wasatch. All in all, a great escape. It's always fun being with somebody who has enthusiasm for absolutely everything and can keep you laughing the whole time.

So everybody knows Rafiki - the baboon from the Lion King...

JT found a stick and walked around camp calling himself Rafiki for a few minutes. This is typical to the kinds of things he does the whole time - keeping me laughing. I'm lucky I was a fast enough draw with the camera for this one. I especially love the fact that he's using his knuckles - I certainly don't capture those sort of details, where does he get it? It's scary to think of other things he notices. Yeah, this is a wake up call to a parent.

This pretty much sums up the trip
