To celebrate the pioneers and their many triumphs crossing the plains, we decided to do our own triumphing in the wilderness of
Green Canyon... with a few modern convinces ( car, tent, sleeping bag, four wheeler, bottled water, grocery store food, flashlight, etc; however The Tippetts did forget to pack toothbrushes). We were accompanied by our good friends, the
Tippetts, and were also graced with a visit from the
Watts! We grilled delicious steaks, grilled corn on the cob, and cooked dutch oven
birthday cobbler (it was Jenna's big 23 on the 23rd!). We had a fun evening of chatting around the campfire and stuffing our faces. I also had a little birthday surprise for Jenna- a glow in the dark crown and personalized rat t-shirt. When we picked our camping spot, we failed to realize that we were in the middle of a
bike trail. We constantly had strange bikers passing through our camp. Jenna and Brad were so proud of these hard working bikers, they decided to recycle the
toilet paper that we had toilet papered their tent with, to make a
finish line for the bikers. We cheered as bikers came to the bottom. The next morning we went on a leisurely 4 wheeler ride. When we attempted to drive home, the canyon entrance happened to be blocked by the North Logan Pioneer
Parade. We were forced to watch the parade. This normally would not be a problem except we were covered with dirt, sweat, and were in need of a tooth brush; but you can't help love a parade!
Jenna's birthday cobbler and flashing crown!

Jenna got a toothbrush after all! Lucky girl.
And rats, just because we love them
Jenna got a toothbrush after all! Lucky girl.
