Uintahs!

Every year my family goes to East Fork of the Black Fork. My parents headed up on Wednesy with Meg, Carson, and Zach on Wednesday to make sure we got a spot. I rode up with Jen, Chad and Jordy on Thursday afternoon. Matt and Mikel followed us up there and Matt and Laurie got up a couple hours later.

Friday was great weather and some of us hung around camp and played games while Matt and Lauries family and my parents went on the day hike. The rest of us planned to go on Saturday but Matt's family had to leave Saturday morning. We played True colors, spoons, PHASE 10, Spped, and California speed! SO FUN!!!

When we woke up Saturday it was super cold! It started hailing really bad! Then it snowed! Then it rained! We planned to go on the day hike but it didn't look like we'd be able to. We also planned to stay through Sunday but with the weather being so cold we figured we should probably pack up. After we had packed up a lot of the stuff, the clouds went away and it ended up being a beautiful day. We went on a short hike and went fishing for just an hour or so. We headed back to camp and finished packing up and headed home.

It was a great camping trip! Thanks to my mom and dad who put so much effort into packing everything, planning the meals and going up early to save a spot!!

Bear Lake

Almost every summer my family goes to Bear Lake to stay with Nelson's at their cabin.
I rode up with Jen, Chad and Jordy. We got there Monday evening.

Around Midnight a bunch of us we out for a swim!

Tuesday we spent the day in the water and on the wave runner. I got FRIED!

That evening my dad taught Me, Meg, Morg, and Maddi how to make boondoggle bracelets.
Later that night we went down to the beach to light some fireworks.
On Wednesday we headed home and stopped at Rick Springs. Me and Laurie were sitting in her van when someone backed into her passenger door. It scared us so bad! Luckily it wasn't too bad and the guy that hit her is taking care of it.

I had a wonderful time hanging out in the water and spending time with my family! Thanks to the Nelson's who let us come up and hang out every year and to my parents who rent the wave runner every year!
