TRIAL LAKE 2011

I have to say that Trial Lake or any lake in the Uinta's for that matter, takes me back to when I was dating THIS guy.
Our campground
We took a little camping trip bc school starts in a week and the kids have been asking to go. I have to admit I was a little hesitant. Camping isn't what it used to be now that I'm a mommy. So when I hear the words "Lets go camping!" What it really sounds like is "Let's go pack our whole house, get it all super dirty and give mom LOTS of work to do!"
But I have to say, It was just what the Dr. ordered. It was BEAUTIFUL. My kids were HAPPY. My husband was in his ELEMENT. {not his car} And I found the PEACE I had forgotten that I feel when I'm up there.




We went fishing!



THEY went swimming..It was FREEZING!!
Puddy can't decide if he should swim. half way in..
Scott braved the cold
Brrrrrrr..
And when you gotta go, you gotta go..
Puddy aka Ding Dong, swimming..Or should we call it splashing..
I wonder if he is imagining being a secret agent or something..
Braids
Pig Tails

Boys don't need much to be entertained. But who knew that a cut off fish head could possibly be the best thing they have played with in a long time..

Add a pocket knife and they are lost for hours in their dissecting glory..
First things first, remove the eyeball...


How awesome is it that a quick little jaunt to our Mountains can offer such a great experience and a perfect getaway with my little family. I'm so blessed.
