Camping in the Uintah's

The Uintah mountains are a happy place for us. We've gone camping there summer for the past few years. Each year we try a new place. We planned on camping at Lilly Lake, but not only was it full, but there was no way our camper would fit in any of the spots. We tried a few campgrounds before deciding to off road to BLM land. We're glad we did. We found the perfect spot! It was beautiful, peaceful and not crowded. The boys could run wild and make noise and we to just exist in nature rather than having to drive somewhere.

By the time we finally found a camping spot and got set up we were pretty tired. Rather than making food we drove into town to go to our favorite burger joint, Hi Mountain Drug Store. Audrey got her first taste of ice cream on brownies and was a fan. Adam drank his root beer float and some of Steven's. If you look at the size of them it shouldn't be a surprise that he felt sick after. Maybe he learned a lesson. Maybe. ;)

When we got back from dinner some people had parked to the left of us, but our little grove of trees has been claimed by our hammocks so it was a perfect play spot for the weekend.

I used the following "perfect" picture to teach Sarah a valuable lesson on social media. Audrey did NOT want to be in the hammock. She was super whiny and wanted out. Before taking her out I grabbed my camera and got her to smile real quick for the picture. She then recommenced whining so I saved her. 

When we camped at Mirror Lake in 2017 we attempted to go on a relatively short hike. There was a lot of whining and anger towards inanimate objects that sprung up and tripped my children. ;) We decided to try again and were rewarded for our efforts. We aren't sure if we made it to the third lake this time, but we are sure the sign is wrong with the distances. Still, it is a beautiful hike.

We didn't attempt to fish with Audrey, but we thoroughly enjoyed our weekend in the "wild".
