I finally have some time (and internet) to post some pictures of our latest camping trip. First off can I just say that I love the Uintas. So beautiful. You'd be surprised to know that I love camping, despite the fact that I absolutely loath bugs. Can't stand them.

We took off around Pioneer weekend not really realizing it was Pioneer weekend. Of course we didn't reserve a camp site. I know bad idea. Everything was full. We searched at least five campsite where we finally found a spot that was reserved but not until the next day. So we pleaded with the camp host. Told him we would only be there over night and would be gone the next day before one (which was checkout time). After all that pleading and sad puppy dog look, he told us we needed to contact the real camp host.
Wait so you're a fake one?

We go down to where the real camp host is supposed to be and of course he's not there. So we sit there for a little bit, then get really mad and why you can never find these guys! So we leave and head back up the the fake camp host. Where the real camp host was. Geesh! So we tell him our story and he lets us camp there. Fabulous!

We get things set up quickly since it's now 7:30 and we are both starving!

We roasted good ol' hot dogs and starbursts. We decided to be daring and try the new sour ones. Boy and they sour. We also brought chips and salsa, accompanied by guacamole. Mmmm chips and dip around a camp fire. Sooo yummy. We played a couple of games of Canasta where Jake beat me. Bad.

The next day Jake and I packed up and headed to Lily Lake where we would try our luck in fishing. Or should I say try my luck in fishing. Jake didn't need any. Jake caught a couple before I finally had the guts to try. My casting stunk. Tried again and it was a little bit better. Finally I gave up and had Jake cast for me. We sat there watching the pole. It started to tug when Jake yelled "Heather grab it and start reeling in!" I wasn't paying attention so I grabbed it and did exactly what he told me to do. Tada! My first fish. I had Jake grab my camera and quickly take a picture. After that I quickly handed the fish with the fishing pole over to Jake and told him to take care of it. We didn't really have a place to cook it so we let it go. I haven't quite acquired the taste for fish yet but I do want to try it. Someday.

After that we headed to Provo Waterfalls to check it out. I had seen a sign for it on the way up and wanted to check it out on the way back home. It was beautiful! So glad we stopped there. Did some hiking around there and then headed back home.



We love camping!

So if you couldn't tell, my blog is going through a little bit of an identity crisis. Since I can't rearrange the furniture in the apartment (cause it will only fit one way), I try to change anything else that I can.

I'm a girl. I love to change things around. I'm even thinking of cutting me some bangs again.

Maybe.

I'm just warning you. My blog might be different in a couple of days. Maybe, maybe not.

Oh and by the way, I totally caught a fish on our camping trip.
Pictures and stories soon to come.

Jake and I went camping with his family up in the Uintas last weekend. So pretty! I have actually never been there before but it has a different feel and look to it than AF canyon where I used to go a lot. We camped right next to Lilly lake where they like to go fishing. If I remember right, Jake took me fishing for my first time on our second date before he left on his mission. I am not a fisher.
Yuck.
Jake fished while I grabbed a chair and read my book. However I didn't read much because I was distracted by Jake fishing. It actually looked fun! We are going again in a week or two and I will purchase me a fishing license! Note about the mosquitoes.
They are everywhere!
I was covered head to toe in clothing. As I sat there reading I could hear the mosquitoes buzz right by my ear. The only place they could probably get to. I think I was reapplying bug spray every fifteen minutes.
Crazy!

Thank heavens there was a big storm that came through and drove them away for a while.
Jake slept through that big storm.

I however did not.
