Camping in the Uinta’s

Last week Steve and I planned a camping trip to the Uinta’s for 3 days… and it was A LOT of FUN!!

We camped at Trial Lake

We borrowed Steve’s Family trailer and car

 

I thought we had the best campsite.  We could see other campers but we still felt like we were by ourselves.

 

On Thursday we hiked to Wall Lake and to The Notch

This is one way to do it… We passed 6 horses on our way to the Notch.  3 riders and 3 packer horses.

We made it

Doing some wading

 

Friday we went to the Provo River Falls and Mirror Lake

 

 

  

I didn’t get any pictures of Mirror Lake because we got the raft out and went fishing… caught a few but nothing large enough to keep.

Friday after dinner we went down to the lake and fished.  In an hour and a half we caught about 6 fish.  It was a lot of Fun… But once again they were pretty small.

Eli sure LOVES his Daddy

 

  

  

I caught the last fish

We left Saturday morning… I was glad we went… Eli had a blast throwing rocks in the water (never gets old).

Look forward to going again next year.

Other Small Happenings…

 

July 4th to Now

…Lots of Pictures…

We went to the West Jordan Parade

 

And saw the Mexican’s and their Cool cars

  

and we saw my little sister Dinah, we had to be fast with the picture…

Then we went to Gma and Gpa Hale’s house did a Slip ‘n Slide with the cousins

   

  

  

That weekend we decided to go for a hike and went to Secret Lake up Alta

  

It was thundering and lightning the whole way up so we only stayed for about 5 min.

and on the way down it started to rain…

on the way down we also saw a momma moose and 2 calves

With all the rainstorms we had in July… you have to puddle jump

  

 

When we go running we always run past this horse… so we finally got a picture by her.

And we played some water Kickball… So much Fun

 

 

We went to the Zoo with Steven… Saw the Polar Bear!!!

  

The Tigers were SO active… Best time to see them play… 8:30am

   

He rode the Carousel twice and every time he came by us he had the BIGGEST smile and would wave like crazy… so CUTE!!

 

My little sister participated in a Youth Pageant that Merrill Osmond wrote and produced… So I went to see her.

They had Skydivers, Lots of Singing and Dancing and Fireworks.

 

 

Merrill Osmond jumped from the plane too… then later he performed a few numbers

  

Dinah is in the Red Apron

  

  

Sorry for the picture overload… at least I am caught up now… ;)
