Camping!

I am SOOO behind with blogging but like ive mentioned a million times... ive been SO super busy with photography (which is AMAZING). So blogging just HAS to go on the back burner!

So about 3 weeks ago we went camping! I think this was our first time busting out the tent this year. Pregnancy will slow down camping plans haha.

 I live in Utah (Mountains) so camping has always been a love of mine.

Its so nice to just GET AWAY!

No cell phone reception.. no internet... just the calming sounds of nature and rivers (we usually camp close to the river). I love the family bonding. My mom always makes amazing dutch oven meals. My dad playing the guitar. I even really like the whole sleeping in a tent thing! Call me weird.. but air mattresses are just as comfy as a normal bed. Well maybe not AS comfy.. but its comfy haha.

i LOVE taking pics of water.. and i found a new love for taking pics of fire!

Can you see the mask in the second fire pic? So cool.

 FALL IS COMING!!

Then, for Labor day, we went up one evening and enjoyed more camping/family time :)

WE LOVE UTAH AND CAMPING!!!

Princesses Are Everywhere!!

Ok, lets begin our eventful crazy weekend posts! On Friday, June 22nd, a bunch of us girls took all of OUR girls to the princess festival! I figured i'd be a fun birthday thing for Braylee with her birthday being the following day. We got all dressed up in our princess dress and headed out!

 When getting on the freeway this is what i saw.
So sad. a mountain about 30 miles away in flames.. the smoke was covering that entire side of the county!

When we got to our destination i realized we were right were the fire was. Pretty sucky.

On to happier notes....

 All the princesses!

 Fairy dust in Bray's hair

 Face paints!

 Watching the princess parade

 Swollen legs... and Braylee saying "its so hot"

 Bay and Pres!

 Of course Braylee wanted to go climb "the spider" instead of watch princesses! lol

 Later we let them play in the water to cool off... it was so so hot.

 Got some lunch, then it was back to princess adventures!

 Here are the girls during tea time!

 The girls minus Preslie

 haha they wanted to see the troll until they got up close!

 Dancing with the princesses!!

I think the girls had a blast! Even though it was so super hot and smokey from the fires haha. They just got to run around all day acting like princesses and seeing princesses. There were parades/shows, mazes, get your hair done booths, face paint booths, all sorts of things! We all just want to act like princesses sometimes dont we?!

When we went home we drove back into fresh air and my little princess zonked out!
