Summer is Dutch Oven Chicken and Potatoes.

How hard to realize that every camp of men or beast has this glorious starry firmament for a roof! In such places standing alone on the mountain-top it is easy to realize that whatever special nests we make - leaves and moss like the marmots and birds, or tents or piled stone - we all dwell in a house of one room - the world with the firmament for its roof - and are sailing the celestial spaces without leaving any track.

We made memories with our whole Johnson clan this past weekend...
...basking in the sunset...
...and meeting our newest little niece Colbie.
Everyone was there--Grandpa, Grandma, Megan, Sadie, Jacee and Chad, Holland, Eliza, Nelson, Payton and Melissa, Molly and Chris and Colbie.
{This is Jacee and poor little Nelson who was sick...and Melissa...who is making musical instruments out of grass.}
After a delicious dutch oven dinner, the sun went down and the air grew chilly.  But we warmed ourselves by a fire...
...roasting marshmallows.
I'm not so sure he loved the charcoaly marshmallow.
But Payton did ;)
And then there was Easton...who just wanted to pose and model his marshmallowey mouth.
The End to a beautiful trip to the canyon.
