A CAMPING TRIP TO THE UINTAS!
Yes yes, another camping trip. This time we packed up the trailer and headed to Wyoming with our amazingly awesome friends the Heaton family and the Butterfield family. That's 6 adults, and 11 1/2 kids (Amber is 7 months pregnant). We had so much fun. Here's some highlights.
Do you think there are enough kids on this wheeler? There just weren't enough 4 wheelers there. If you took 1 for a ride, you had to TRY to take them all.
Here's my Hottie, cookin' breakfast.

Hangin' in the trailer.
We camped right by the river. The kids spent most of the time there swimming and boat racing. They made boats with the bark on the trees then raced them down the "waterfall". They loved it. Here are some pics of them swimming in the creek.
FISHING! Is there such a thing as camping without fishing? I think not! We caught so much fish.

And, gutting the fish. This is my job. I don't know why but I always end up being the fish killer and cooker. I know some of these pictures are gruesome but Greg was getting a kick out of the kids' faces.
Here's Lexi with the one eyed frog. She wanted to keep it but her Mommy said no because she felt sorry for the frog with one eye. Poor mutated frog.
Hanging around the campfire. We spent the first 2 days here because it was really cold. So cold, that the first night it hailed. Yes, hail in August. Yikeys! That's ok it was only for a couple of minutes. The smores made it all better.

Oh yes. The Butterfields blew a tire luckily right by the exit to Evanston. So, we pulled over, and got it fixed and went on. Just kidding, I wish that were the case. We didn't exactly have everything we needed to fix this tire. So, this nice nice nice man brought over his tools and changed the tire while Greg & Kelton helped by holding the flashlight. It was too late to go on, plus we had no more spares, so we camped at the Walmart in Evanston. I've never seen anyone be so excited to sleep in a Walmart parking lot before. The kids were stoked. What an end to an awesome trip!
