This past weekend I was fortunate enough to do all sorts of fun things up in American Fork Canyon.... it really was such a great holiday weekend! There is something so refreshing about being up in the mountains surrounded by the natural beauties of this place... it was great. Besides the extreme heat during the day and my farmers tan sunburn....boo :( this weekend was just about perfect.

I have the greatest in-laws and I'm so grateful to them for making this weekend possible! It was a great 4th of july weekend :)
This was mine and matt's humble abode for the weekend.
It was quite perfect.
Beautiful canyon.
And this is the where everyone else stayed- in gma and gmpa peay's camp trailer.
It was the perfect little set up.
My little camper.
Site #23 :)
This would be Silver.... he's my favorite to ride. Nice and calm ;)
We're buddies.
And this is Sparky. He's quite spirited!
My husband preparing the horses for the ride, he's pro.
Can't take out my camera without a few of these kinds of photos...
So beautiful!
This is Sparky's one blue eye....the other is brown. Pretty crazy cool!
This is Dimples. She's beautiful!
He wasn't posing or anything.... haha.
The surburb and horse trailer with the perfect scenic view in the background. It is gorgeous up there!
Matt and father-in-law Kevin... Like father like son.
Breath taking view!
Me and my honey bun :)
Chill'n

Landon and Dimples
This is all too natural ;)
Matt is riding in gpa peay's footsteps!
Fishin time!
Preparing the bait.
Matt was showing me how it's done.
"The perfect cast" ............kinda....
And now we wait....and wait.... and wait.... I get kind of impatient!
We saw a moose on our way down from the lake!
I think she was lost!
He's a stud.
I got a good ol farmers tan riding the horses :( .... I guess that's why they call em rednecks??
Marsh mellow roastin!
My fam even came up for an evening :)
We had some yummy food!
Mountain man burritos. mmmmm.
Me and matt love our soup cooked in the fire.
More of us.
Nothing better than a nap in the out doors right next to the creek! I have NO idea how I fell asleep in that position though haha
This wolf's name was Sam.
This is the deer matt spotted in the mountains while we were fishing.... my eyes are not trained to find stuff like that! And my camera was zoomed ALL the way in. Crazy.
Waiting for my fish......
Waiting for his fish....
Landon is pro at fishing!
He caught 2 fishies!
Preparing more bait.
Silver Lake Flats
Gone fishin.
This is my almost, near perfect cast. ;) I was improving ha
His is better though.
I gutted the fish too! ................... NOT. It was Landon.
Gross

It's better having him by my side :)
Hope everyone had a GREAT 4th of July weekend!!!
