Camping


We got to camp with the Christensen side of the family this last weekend. It was really fun. I found a place on the Wyoming-Utah border called Bridger Lake. It was a beautiful lake. Lily pads covered most of the lake with tons of fish! It wasn't too long of a drive, about 2 1/2 hours, but turned cold really fast. The warmest I think it was the whole time had to be only 55 or 60 at most. It was super cold. I'm really glad we packed like we were paranoid. :) We got to use our little 4 man blow up boat. That thing is really great! We did some fishing, although it wasn't much because Porter hates fishing. It was like every time we went Porter started yelling something like "Hey fish! My dad is trying to catch and eat you. So run away!" Fishing was impossible with an 8 month old. :) Pat was the only one who caught a fish. He was pretty excited about that. We got to see Moose up close. Male and Female together. It was AWESOME. Slightly scary since they were only like 50 yards close. But really cool! Porter loved to eat dirt, every time I turned around I had to hurry to wipe dirt out of his mouth. We forgot our snuggle. It's like a little strap-on holder for the baby. Made for babies. So we had to make our own. We just put Porter in a backpack that luckily we brought. It was actually really funny. Allot of our time was spent visiting around the campfire because it was so cold. It was a fantastic trip.
