This year was our first ever Steele cousin's camp. Everyone who was old enough to be away from parents for a week came- so we had 13 kids there, ages 4-13. Rebekah was actually only there the first evening and the last day, because of girl's camp, but the rest of us spent 5 days doing all kinds of fun stuff.
Day one involved hiking to the Timpanogos Cave in American Fork Canyon. To get to the cave entrance, you have to hike 1 1/2 miles, pretty much straight up- there is a 1600 foot elevation gain. We took our time with all those kids, but everyone made it the whole way walking under their own power- even Annie! They did great, there was a minimum of complaining, and the reward was a beautiful, cold cave tour at the end.
Almost there- getting worn out!
At the top- waiting for our tour. That's a long way down!
In the cave- the cold air felt wonderful after our long hike.
Hiking back down- not nearly so hard, although our toes were sore when we got to the bottom!
After our hike, we went swimming at a friend's pool- but I forgot the camera. Oh well.
