The Boys Backpacking in the Uintahs

 Ellie, our buddy Aidan, and I took the boys up to the Uintahs.  We dropped them off on a Wednesday and Papa Stan picked them back up on Sunday.  I was scared the whole time they were gone.  They had no phone reception and ended up getting lost once when the trail disappeared. 

 Right before they took off.

Grantsville Camping

 We had our first family camping trip last weekend.  Allen took us up to Grantsville.  We were pulling the tent trailer with the van and I really thought that it was going to break down.  Moths kept us company and they were everywhere!  For breakfast one morning we made boiled omelets.  They were actually pretty good

Not too bad.

 

There was a 7 mile hike.  Ellie and I only made it about a mile then headed back with an exhausted dog.  Poor Molly.

When the moths were at there worst we hung out in the trailer and played games.  We are looking forward to many more trips this summer.

Island Park Kayaking

 We spent one day on the river while on our trip.  We rented a flat bottom boat and 2 kayaks.  Grandpa and Allen started out on the kayaks.  It took me a while to figure out how to get the boat to go the way I wanted it to.

 Carson and mom.  It is so hard to get Carson to smile nowadays.

 The water was pretty low in some spots,  Poor Papa had to walk out of the areas.

 Carson and Ellie both loved the kayaks.

Yellowstone National Park

 We spent a lovely week in Island Park with Grandma and Grandpa Miller.  We stayed at a nice cabin and tried a few new things while there.
