Camping in the High Uintas

With Isaac off with the grandparents, Eric and I escaped to the Uintas, near the Wyoming and Utah border. We went with friend Andy, and of course the dogs. The boys were scouting. I tagged along for an escape to the mountains and the hiking.

Hike through the hills (sans trail...)

Beautiful aspens

Signs of black bears

Campsite... very remote spot... beautiful stars at night

Strawberry Reservoir with Grandma & Grandpa J

Last weekend we went camping with Grandma & Grandpa J at Strawberry Reservoir (about 1.5 hours from Park City).  A few photos of our adventure:

Nothin' much better than a hot breakfast cooked on a warm fire, on a cool morning.

Happy Campers

(Literally) hours and miles of bike riding around the campsite, in search of the "bus stop"

We rented a pontoon boat.  Captain I.O. 

A family portrait... of sorts

Camping in Sage Brush.  An early morning moon.

Fun at our neighborhood park before saying goodbye.

5 Years!

We celebrated our five-year wedding anniversary with a hike in the Uintas with the family:

Beautiful 12 mile hike (Isaac fell asleep in the backpack on the way back, after a short picnic lunch at the lake)

Lodi fetching sticks in the lake

 And, Sunday we had a play date with his daycare best friend, Haven.  We hear all the time about how Isaac "loves Haven" and that she is his "best friend".  It was the first time we got to see them interact, and they are so cute (and a little bit of trouble) together.
