Camping 2009

We usually go camping with our whole family and extended family sometime during the summer but this year we could never get it scheduled. So Paul and I decided to just take Jared and Kamryn and go up overnight for a quick little camping trip.
We got to Washington Lake around noon on Friday and quickly got the tent set up because it was starting to rain. Paul's brother, Steve, and his daughters, Jess and Emily, were with us for the afternoon. Those 4 went on a hike to Rock Lake while I stayed at the camp with Jared and Kamryn. We had fun in the tent while it rained - we ate lunch, colored and read stories. Then the sun came out and we went down to the lake to hang out until Paul got back.
When he got back, we went out on the lake in our little blow up boat for almost 3 hours. Jared and Kamryn were great sports and loved catching a lot of fish.
When we were cold and it was almost dark we went back to camp and built a nice fire and had dinner and then went to bed.
Saturday we went out on the boat again for 2 hours and caught a lot more fish. We packed up camp and then went on a little "hike" to Crystal Lake. We also drove to Mirror Lake to see our friends who were camping there. We stopped at Provo River Falls so the kids could see the waterfalls. They were very concerned that we were going to go in the waterfalls.
It was a great short camping trip and so much fun to hang out with just our little kids.

looks like you found a spot. Looks like you had fun. I'm sad we didn't get to go this year. Next year we need to be more on top of things.
