Trial Lake Camping

In mid July we took the kids camping at Trial Lake. It's a favorite fishing/camping spot of Mike's family. Amelia came with us as well and the kids had a lot of fun enjoying nature. Although it was hot in the Salt Lake Valley it was surprisingly cold in the mountains.

I love this picture! Amelia asked me to take it, which is the best part.

It took them a LONG time to fall asleep

 The second day there we went fishing by the dam. Each kid found their special fishing rock. After a while Adam was the only one content to wait. Steven and Amelia played in a meadow and Sarah became the power bate mixing queen.

Steven got this fish from a neighbor that had better luck

Finally we caught a fish

Adam caught this little guy all by himself in front of
our camping spot.

The kids started playing store and established a
bartering system. Everything could be purchased with rocks.
