Well, we're back from our week of camping (July 23 - July 30)! And it's going to take a few days to catch up on everyone's lives the past week. But I figure I need to get my post started so I can decide what pictures to use. Doing 50 loads of laundry right now, too (not really but it seems like that much). Anyway, we went up in the Uintah's and it was nice to get away for a week. This is our new tent from Cabela's (the evening we got there and after we set it up) ....
Below is another one looking in our tent at our bed... a mattress on top of a cot (quite nice and better than just a mattress on the floor, like we've had before). Our tent was very nice and kept out the rain on the 2 days it did rain a lot. Last year it rained a whole lot and we had to leave a day early because our tent (a cheap one from Target, I think) leaked and made our bed and pillows wet, and a few places on the long dirt road started to wash out.
The morning after we got there, I noticed this ....
After Jeff took the tire off, we noticed this ....
See the screw? Yep, that's what made the tire flat. Jeff put the spare donut tire on and the next day, Jeff's uncle had to go to a nearby town for a part for his vehicle and we had him take our tire to get patched. This is Jeff putting on the donut tire ....
Jeff's brother, Jason, has a jeep that he took a few people off-roading on (not me, though!). Some people will miss that jeep when Jason sells it before he leaves on his mission next year. Here he is with his jeep and 3 cousins (left to right: Maridy, David, and Weston) ....
Here are a few random pictures at the campsite ....
Jeff's mom and Jeff--
Jeff's mom and dad--
Lori and Katie (Jeff's sisters)--
I thought this was a good one of Jeff, his mom, and his sister Katie--
Jeff likes to read when we go camping, so here he is with his book (isn't he cute?)--
Jeff's parents have 3 dogs, too... Maggie, Clover, and Pugsy (Lori's favorite)--
Jeff's dad in the hammock with Pugsy and Maggie--
We couldn't do a whole lot in the afternoon/evening of Saturday and Sunday because it rained. We were blessed that it didn't rain any of the other days (although it rained a little in the middle of the night last night, but not too much). On Monday, Jeff went fishing along the river where we were camping. He sorta lost track counting how many he caught, but he caught about 28 fish. I went with him for the first 7 or so, then got bored and went back to camp. Here are a couple pictures of him and his fish he caught ....
His first fish ....
His tiny fish ....
His weird-looking fish ....
Also, Lori caught a fish (with Maggie eyeballing it) ....
And Katie caught a fish ....
Yesterday, we went to a lake called Moon Lake and Lori rented a kayak and all but me and Jeff's mom went on it (yes, I'm boring!, but I enjoyed watching and taking pictures). Sorry a couple of these may be a little blurry.
Lori and Jason--
Jeff's dad and Jeff--
Katie and Jeff--
Every year, Jeff's family has a tradition of taking a family picture in front of a tall tree stump ....
Even though I hate the bugs and getting and feeling dirty, I enjoyed the time off work and spending time with Jeff's family.

I love camping! It looks like a fun time.
Looks like fun! I'm glad your tent withstood rain better than ours did. We'll have to get a new one next year. It's cool Jeff caught some fish because Ryan didn't catch anything. Oh well. Camping is fun! I got used to being dirty after a while. I felt better with my hair washed even though the rest of me was still dirty. :)
I love all these pictures! So fun! Camping is one of my favorite things!
