American Fork Canyon

So for Memorial Day weekend my family along with My Uncle Richard visiting from Florida, was supposed to go camping. Camping is pretty much my favorite thing ever! So you can imagine my disappointment when my dad told me we were NOT going camping. Needless to say I threw a little fit like a three year old and put myself to bed. The next morning I had turned back into a 25 year old adult and got in the car for an exciting day of four-wheeling up American Fork Canyon. It was a little gloomy out but we decided it was worth it to get out there and see the sites.

After taking a ride to the lake we had just sat down and started to relax when we felt it...Rain! So we had to ride all the way back down the mountain to get to the trailer. And i did not have a jacket! What was i thinking??

After safely making it back to the van we loaded up the bikes and started looking for a place to stop and have our picnic lunch. By this time it had stopped raining and I took full advantage of that by taking more pictures :)

My Parents were not very willing to cooperate as you can see...

But eventually after many tries they did what they had to so I would leave them alone.

And here I am with my favorite dog, Lucky. Isn't he cute :) I think he likes to pose for pictures as much as I do!

If you don't know this already...my dad has a little obsession with medal detecting. And in the short time my Uncle Richard was here, my dad hooked him too.

Apparently bears are a big problem in this canyon. There were signs everywhere! Even on our picnic table.

In case your wondering why Charles is not in any of the pictures, its because he isn't as cool as we are and he decided he didn't need to be a part of the family this day. Don't worry, I threw my three year old fit on him too.

So Lucky is not a normal dog. Most dogs love to retrieve a good stick. Not Lucky, he has some real issues with the stick. He feels the need to tear it apart as soon as it gets near him. There is no retrieving.

Did I mention the stick is double his length...It was hilarious watching him try to break this one in half. It is still in one piece somewhere in the campground. You cant win'em all.
