Nevermind our cruise, we went to the mountains!

I just realized I didn't write anything about the trips we took this summer! We went on a cruise! I can't remember where I saved our pictures from it though so I will write about that later!



We went to Washington Lake in the Uinta's and it was the most amazing place ever. I plan on going back there this summer and possibly for every year for the rest of my life. I haven't spent a lot of time in the Uinta's but I see why people love them now.

We went with my cousin, Addison, and his wife, Kylee, we are really good friends with them. We also went on our cruise with them. We left Salt Lake so early that when we reached the camp site people hadn't left yet so it was pretty slim picking. We tried to get a spot by the water but eventually got too impatient and picked one in the middle of the campground.  It worked out really well though and ended up being a good camping spot.

 We rented a canoe from the U to use on the lake. The guys were able to get some really good fishing in while out in the canoe. It was so fun! I think the it was the best part. It rained a lot for one of the days we were there so we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time on the lake plus with the wind. However, in the evenings it was amazing!







A lot of time was spent sitting on the shore fishing too. I don't have a fishing license but I like just sitting outside :) 

Fishing on the dam


yay, fish!
 
ew, maybe not.

When we weren't fishing we were hiking to a different fishing spot! There were so many lakes and easy beautiful hikes all around. 







I took a lot of pictures of flowers but this is my favorite! It's one of my backgrounds at work!

 Cooking while camping is always... interesting.
Addison cooked up some of the trout he caught and it was actually really good eating it so fresh!


 
 I wish I would have written about it closer to when we actually went so I could have remembered more details. Oh well. It was still a wonderful trip to a beautiful place and I fully plan on going again next year!
