Cook Out

While in Utah we went up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Ollie was super excited about seeing the mountains. He really wanted to have a fire and roast hot dogs and marshmellows. He also wanted to see Gnomes. He is really into the whole Gnome thing right now so my Mom checked him out a book from the library about Gnomes. My sister-in-law (Jen) also lent us a movie about Gnomes. We really talked the whole thing up before going up in the mountains. (A side note: Gnomes are a Beck family tradition. Anytime we went camping or hiking as children we would find Gnome candy. It was so magical to me that we've continued the tradition with our children.)



Eating roasted marshmellows.



A Gnome house. It had two beds with pillows, a toilet with toilet paper, and a table with plates. Out front was a beautiful flower garden. The kids had fun finding the house but of course, the candy and cookies were there favorite part.



Looking around for Gnome cookies hanging on the trees.






A Gnome toilet.



Allora loved the orange candy.



Our fire to quickly cook lunch before it rained again. :)
