Yesterday afternoon we gathered the kids in the car and snuck away from homework and work to drive up Provo Canyon. It was an amazing drive. The weather was perfect and the leaves are starting to turn so there was beautiful color everywhere. At first the girls were missing everything with their eyes glued on ipods.....but as soon as I started pointing out waterfalls and fly fisherman I was delighted to see them put them away and enjoy the view with Derek and me.
My aunt and uncle have spent the last 6 months in Heber at the Heber Valley Girl's Camp working as Missionaries. Now that all the YW Camps are over, they were having a little family camp-out with their kids and because we are "honorary members" they invited us to come along. I was sad we weren't able to sleep over, but hanging out around a camp fire with hot dogs and smores was perfect on a Tuesday night. We had a blast laughing, eating and going on the zip-line. I love being a part of the Miller family. We spent the night planning out next adventure......IMAX Harry Potter in November. I think if Derek would of had cell service he would have bought the tickets on the spot.
I'm sad I wasn't able to get any shots of the amazing scenery, because of course I showed up with 2 dead batteries....but I was able to sneak a couple shots of us in the super stylish red hat on the zip line before I lost all power.
I was laughing so hard the whole time. It was hilarious watching everyones reactions as they climbed the rope, walked along the suspension bridge and then scream as they jumped off the end. Everyone was a little freaked out about hitting the tree at the end... but of course we found out later that has never ever happened before. Sydney wasn't interest AT ALL in the zip line. She was happy to play with Evan and Gracie in the sandbox, but at the end they convinced her climb up half way and swing from the rope. She was brave and gave it a shot...but was ready to be done after a couple of seconds.
