Fish Lake 2014

After 5 years we made it back to our good old camping favorite – FISH LAKE, UT.  It is a family tradition to spend an extended weekend at the lake in late July.  Due to schedules we moved it up to late June, and it was still wonderful weather. 

First casualty of the trip.  (note, the skillet is still hot even if the burners are off)

Great object lesson for the boys…and Heather…hehehe

We don’t fish at Fish Lake…ever.  We throw rocks, and piss off all of the fishermen.

Notice Z has to pick up the biggest rock?  That boy is not competitive AT ALL.

This year we decided to check out the overlooks on the other side of the lake.

Didn’t plan the whole gas thing really well and almost gave Grandpa and Alicia a heart attack.  Dan was cool the whole time.  Of course.

The babies figured out 1-2-3 weeeeee, and made you do it EVERY TIME you went on a walk.

Did our annual craft project (painting airplanes, birdhouses, and race cars)

Alicia is a glutton for punishment.  Paint.  With boys and 2 year olds.  Camping.  Favorite Quote:  “Dan get over here.  It’s FAMILY BONDING TIME!!”

Learning how to share.  Okay, that one is still in progress.

This just happened to be a good moment.

Returned to Capitol Reef after 5 years…and realized I didn’t miss the heat.  Love the park and the hikes, just HATE the 100+ temperatures. 2014-06-30 11.25.15
We’ll have to try again in the off-season.  Boy, that was rough.

Ended the trip with the kids pigging out on our S’mores smorgasbord.  (Amazing combinations, and way to much sugar)

Grandma and Grandpa spent the night trying to not get in the smoke.  Lost cause.

Wahoo!  Looking forward to next year, and better campsites!!
