Camping trip

The kids and I are just getting back from a camping trip.  We had a fabulous time and I have no idea how I am going to pick which pictures to post.  We went up to Moosehorn Lake.  It is in the high Uinta's right across from Mirror Lake.  I've never been up there, but I fell in love.  Most definitely the prettiest place in the state of Utah.  I could spend the whole summer up there, if I just had a shower and toilet.  But the lack of those 2 things did not keep us from having a great trip.  We got up there Tuesday afternoon and set up camp.  Gator put on her suit and went for a swim while the boys fished.  The air was quite a bit cooler and the water was downright freezing, so she didn't last too long, but she had her bike so all was well in her world.  The boys tried so hard, but they didn't even catch one fish.  They were bummed.  Owen said it was a failure fishing trip, but a successful camping trip.  I loved spending time with my kids with no distractions, I really do have some great kids and I am one lucky mom. 

 I did Ally's hair in braids before we left thinking it would be easier to not have to do her hair while we were camping.  Well, it was easier on me, but the poor girl got her braids caught in the zipper of the tent 3 times. 

 This was taken the first day, my shower from home was still effective.  I stayed away from the camera for the rest of the trip. 

 I had taken the goggles not knowing if the kids would want them for the lake.  Well, they didn't really swim because it was so chilly, but those goggles still came in very handy. 

 3 sizes of mallows.  Big for roasting, medium for smores and little ones for hot chocolate. 

 They look peaceful now, but the first night was really rough.  The wind blew really hard and none of us got much sleep.  By the second night they were asking to go to bed and everyone slept much better. 

 Walking around/fishing on Mirror Lake

 Gator loved all the wild flowers.  Her and I walked through them as the boys fished. 

 Her 5 minutes of fishing.  She is too much like her mom...not patient enough for fishing.

 Deb came with us.  She was fun to camp with, and knew her way around the campground.

A quick run down the canyon for ice and wood turned a little longer than quick when we were stuck behind a cattle run. 

 As we were heading home, Davis spotted a beautiful waterfall...Provo Falls.
