This year we went camping up in the Uintas. I have not been up there in years and man, have I been missing out! It's beautiful up there and was the perfect place for our family. It was so nice not to have movies, Internet, computers, or phones to distract us. We just hung out together and talked and enjoyed God's creations. We first stopped at Provo River Falls which was so pretty. I love this picture of all my chicks all lined up in a row!
We finally made it to our camp site and this butterfly loved Anne. She seriously carried it around for hours.
The boys relaxing after setting up camp.
Anne still with the butterfly.
We loved relaxing in this fun hammock.
Teapot Lake. This was my favorite lake. I thought it was so pretty and plus we caught the most fish on this lake.
That evening we caught a bunch a fish between all of us and so dinner was extra yummy that night. I have to say that I caught the fishing bug. I can see now why my boys love it so much!
The girl's found these cool water lily flowers out on Teapot Lake.
Eliza found this cute little frog. She carried that around for hours too.
Here is what camp look like. I actually really loved the site. We had a nice little creek that ran through our camp and there was lots of shade. The first night we were in a huge thunder and lightening storm that kept us up for a little while. We were safe and snug in our tent. The nights got really cold and we were glad for our extra warm sleeping bags.
Lots of yummy camp food was made around the fire. I actually love planning and cooking in a dutch oven and fire. I was pretty proud of myself and we ate great!
The next morning we went fishing and caught some more fish. Lucy loved being in charge of the net.
We then went hiking. We hiked to Ruth Lake and it was a pretty hike.
I couldn't believe all the beautiful lakes and ponds found everywhere up there.
We finally made it to Ruth Lake and tried to fish but, no luck. We ate some snacks and then headed up to Hayden Lake.
At Hayden Lake Mike caught this midget fish. We were so confused by this fish.
We have never seen a fish like this before. Something was wrong with it so, we let it go back in the lake.
After hiking we were so tired we all headed back to camp and took a nap.
Lots of eating and story telling around this fire. We all had such a fun time and can not wait for next year when we can do this again!
