This Is Us

  Saturday we got up, had breakfast, got ready and headed out to find somewhere to kayak and fish. First we went to Moose Ponds, but there wasn’t much of a shore to sit on. So we decided to find another place. We drove back by our camp and went to West Green Lake. When we arrived we saw some big horn sheep! There still wasn’t much of a shore, but we decided to try it out. They had a little doc with benches.  We took our canopy and set it up by some trees for extra shade, but it was kind of far away from the water. The kids got in and played. They said the bottom was soft and mushy, but they played for a little while. Then they got out and we ate lunch. After lunch they decided that didn’t want to get back in the water, and we decided to head to Flaming Gorge. Here is them in the Green Lake: This Damselfly landed on Tyler. He was so happy! We found a nice spot at Flaming Gorge (despite the people next to us taking baths. 🙄). The kids played and kayaked, and we had lots of fun!...

So over the weekend we went camping. It was for Nick's Mom's family reunion, that they do every year. Dieter is up fishing in Canada, so Colleen rode with us. On our way up the Moon was so bright, huge, and just so pretty. See the pictures below. We pulled into camp around 9:00. I just have to say that the DVD players in the car is a huge life saver. The kids are so good... no screaming "Are We There Yet?" or "How Much Longer?". I remember when I was younger and we (my sister and I) would ask my parents that question they would ALWAYS say "A couple more hours!" no matter how far away we were. We could be 10 minutes away and they would say that. It used to drive my sister and I crazy... but I guess us asking my parents over and over again "When will we be there" drove them crazy. So anyway... Cris, Renee and their three kids stayed the weekend up there with us. Lichelle and Brodie's daughter Alysha stayed with us, and Mieshka and her ...
