Hiking , Naked People, & Camping It Up.

Despite the fact that Tag is giant, we still packed him in like a babes and did some hiking this summer. Here are some shots from Wheeler Creek, up Ogden Canyon.

Funny story about this hike: we followed a little trail off the main hike down to a pooled area of the river. I was considering to take my shoes off and wade in when middle-aged, granola, male and female bikers pulled up behind us. The guy asked if I was going to take a dip, and I said I was thinking about it. He said, "Oh good, us too." We then laughed and moved out of the way just a few feet away to sit on some rocks. A few moments later I look over to see them both stripping down to their nothings....NOTHINGS! I say to Jon, "don't look, that lady is naked," of course, he immediately looks over. His comment, "They must be naked in the sun a lot, they don't have any tan lines. We quickly packed up our 2 yr. old and moved on up the trail. Really!! It felt like we were in some weird European country or something where we were the odd ones for not being comfortable with it.


After much convincing, I got Jon to agree to an overnight camp at his family reunion up Ogden Canyon. I can't blame him for the resistance; since having Tag, hanging out in a tent freezing our keisters off and trying to force our kid to sleep has not been super enjoyable. I was just sure this year Tag would be better and be stoked at the idea of making his own special bed away from home. Luckily, he was! He slept the entire night on his own bed with his special blankies and Bobo the bear.







The horrendously dangerous toys by our
camp enjoyed be all the children.
