Uintas Trip

Sunday afternoon, August 13th, after my lesson and Steve's lesson, we finished packing our last few things, then headed up to the Uintas again.  This time we booked a camp site at Lost Creek Campground.  It's in between Trial Lake (campground was pretty full) and Moosehorn Lake (no reservable campgrounds).  It worked out really well and our campsite was awesome.  Rob rode up w/ us and Stacie/Phill met us up there.

Hudson and Carter fell asleep on the way up.  Getting out tents set up and our campsite.  Our campsite was actually really BIG and there was plenty of room to explore for the kids.  

There was also a cute little creek running by both of our campsite and lots of pretty flowers.

Later watching a show under Steve's coat while we pack up to go to the lake.

We then drove over to Trial Lake to fish and enjoy the day.
Nyles and I out fishing on the kayak together.  Claire and Stacie out fishing as well.

I rowed around the lake while Nyles fished.  He caught a little minnow AND a bigger fish with it.  
As he was reeling it in, the bigger fish jumped off.  It was pretty funny!

Nyles caught another couple fish.
Beautiful view by Mount Baldy.


Getting some lunch.  Dave and Joann showed up as well and joined in the fun.  
Hudson had fun dragging their wagon around, even in the water.

More fishing.  Steve, Rob and Dave getting some lunch.  
I took Hudson out for a ride and to go fishing.  Rob in a hammock.

Steve was pretty proud of me :)  Hudson thought it was fun catching the fish.


Carter loved snuggling w/ their dog Mesa.  More fishing from the shore.

Steve finally out for a ride on the kayak.

We packed up our campsite, had dinner, and then headed home.  It was a great trip!  We had a beautiful day and didn't get rained on!  It got a little cold during the night in our tents, but we made it through the night and the weather during the day was perfect!  Our campsite was beautiful and we all had a great time.  I know we'll be back again.  Until next time :)
