July 24th Celebration

We took a trip up Big Cottonwood Canyon for the 24th to have a day up the Canyon. We went up in time for Breakfast just Grandma and Grandpa with Carolee and her kids. We had one site and were cooking up breakfast when the people across from us left . It was a better site by the river so we packed up our things including breakfast and the charcoal that we had started and moved. Grandma and the grandkids were on the internet and noticed that you could cook a boiled egg in a paper cup with water in it so they wanted to try it.
So we took what we needed up the canyon and decided to give it a try. So Grandpa got some charcol ready in the fire pit and got some water in the cups and put the eggs in and let it go to see if it would work. After about 5 minutes we looked to see what was happening and the water was boiling but the cups were not burning. About ten minutes later the kids had boiled eggs for breakfast. "IT WORKED". Mike and Kris and the kids, and Todd and Nicole and Andrew came up later.

When Todd and Nicole and little A.J. came up he likes to play with his pail and shovel and so he and Hailey decided to play in the dirt together.

When we go "to the canyon" we have a "family rock" that we like to hike to and this is where we are. We enjoy taking pictures at this favorite spot in the Ledgemere Picnic Site.

The Grandkids enjoy playing in the water. They could spend hours throwing rocks and getting wet. They all really like the water.

Grandma and Grandpa with all the Grandchildren.
