Exciting Adventure Weekend

This weekend, we went camping up American Fork Canyon. We had Tori in town so we wanted to take her up to Timponogos Cave. We left and went up there on Friday. We spent the evening fishing, cooking, and then playing Aggravation in the trailer while it rained outside.

These cute little ducks were there too!

The next day we took a ride up on the mountain. It was very bumpy, but such a beautiful view. We then went to hike at to Timponogos Cave. My cousin Lori and her daughter Jessica met us there. I made it to the top-and am so proud. It was really quite nice out on our hike up.

We started to hear thunder while we were in the cave. When we came out it was pouring down rain. I tried to catch a picture, but it doesn't do it justice. The lady leading the tour told us we would have to wait for 40 minutes or so until they could safely get off of the mountain.So after a while of waiting. They had called in search and rescue and all of the rangers were there to help us get down. I was holding on very tightly to my husband, hoping not to slip. Not a great situation for a pregnant woman to be in, but we did okay. Here is a picture of a huge mound of dirt, and a waterfall (right at the front, hard to see) that was coving the path. (for those of you who have been there know, the path is quite thin on the edge of the mountain with a huge cliff on the one side). We had to climb over these mounds of rock, hoping they didn't slide. (the ranger on the opposite side is standing on the mound, it was higher than his head on the ground. We coudn't see the ranger on the other side as we started up the rocks)
Here is a nother smaller one that we had to cross. It was quite and adventure and we are really glad to be down safely. We went back and barbequed some great hamburgers and hung out outside (as it stopped raining). What a weekend, but we really enjoyed it. Tori loves to camp and fish which makes it so much more fun!

On another note. Grace got the hiccups for the first time last night. It was so cute. Art could even feel it!
