Camping Fun , Mostly

Scott LOVES to camp! Every year we have (or try to have) a camp out in the Uinta mountains in August. Scott enjoys it so much that he starts planning the next August camp out the day we get back!

This year we went to Trial Lake with Jamie and Jayden; Randy, Annie, Hank and Max; Jenni, Lynn, Dyson and Colby.

Here's our cute little kitchen..... it even had a sink to wash the dishes in!

We had lots of good food to include some dutch oven delights! It seemed like we were always eating. Food always tastes better when you're camping!

Jamie was the dutch oven expert!

Dave came up a couple of nights for dinner.

Saturday morning Annie woke up - well she never slept - as she was having some very intense pain. Scott was going down to SLC for a prior commitment and took Annie and Max down with him. Annie felt so bad leaving but she wanted Randy and Hank to stay - as they were having a good time. After they left - the rest of the mighty campers headed off to the lake to do a little fishin', canoe-ing.. and for us boring types.. reading.

Jenni, Dyson and Colby were the first brave souls to take off in the canoe.

Can you see Dyson holding onto the sides for dear life??

Thank goodness Jamie was there.....

She was our expert fisher-person. She taught Colby how to cast his line. Oh.. and she UNtangled everyone's line.... the entire time we were down there. She didn't have time to fish for herself. What a good sport she was!!

Randy took the canoe out...

and tried to fix Hank's pole!

While Lynn (and I) read in our nice shaded chairs.

But the biggest catch of the day went to...................

Randy! Can you even see that thing?

After fishing and lunch we were surprised by a visit from 2 Summit county sheriff's. They came up to inform Randy that Annie was at the hospital. So he took off and Hank stayed with us. Shortly after Randy left, Scott arrived and told us that Annie was going to have her appendicts out. Thank goodness she wasn't in the mountains any longer. That could have been an even more serious situation!

Dyson, Colby and Jayden were good to entertain Hank while he's parents were away.

While the boys played another dutch oven dinner with grilled corn on the cob was prepared. The boys loved the secret hideouts they could create in between the trees.

In the morning we woke up to rain! Lots and lots of rain! We had to pack up all our camping gear, tents, everything in the rain. But it was great fun. Everyone had a good time ... except Annie! Thankfully - she's doing great now! So we'll all be ready for next year's August campout!!
