For our family camp out this year we headed out the Uinta's to Mirror Lake. It was very relaxing and beautiful. We experienced all the joys of camping-camp fires, outdoor cooking, roasted marshmallows and s'mores, really smelly drop toilets, beautiful scenery, the bugs, the stars, the clean air, and having much needed family time without cell phone reception. It was awesome :)
Our days consisted of walking around the lake trail...
going to the bridge and watching fish jump out of the water, and of course playing in the water (we sure missed our canoe). We also made the boys fishing poles out of sticks and all the fishing line that fishermen leave behind on shore (seriously fishers! Are you that lazy?)
We also past the time by playing/digging in the dirt, blowing bubbles, going on exploring adventures in the woods, Oakley's favorite pastime-throwing rocks in the water, and Canyon's favorite pastime-driving his remote control jeep. His jeep came back with some definite damage after being crashed into trees, rocks, picnic tables, his brother.....
The best part of our camping trip? We got to stay in Grandma and Grandpa Furr's sweet trailer! I never knew how luxurious trailer camping could be. Needless to say...it was amazing. At night instead of climbing into a cold tent-we got into the trailer, turned the heater up full blast, and all snuggled together in bed and watched a movie.
On our way home we stopped at Lily Lake to fly kites. But for some reason we could not get our All a Dollar kites to fly...I wonder why :) But it was pretty fun watching Canyon and Daniel trying to get them up in the air.
We also stopped by the Provo River Falls and stopped in Heber to eat lunch at the train station. We just didn't want our camping trip to end...
