Camping at Trial Lake

We went camping to the Uintahs this weekend to Trial Lake. We went with our friends, Rob and Lisa and their teenage kids, Jaci and Brock, that Bryce and Kendal bugged for three days. This was the first time that I have ever been to the Uintahs. We actually camped in pine trees and not sage brush. The only fan that we turned on was the fan on our heater. We wore long pants and jackets!! It was wonderful. Our friends took us on a hike to a little lake where we tried to do some fishing in the rain. The only fish that we (the Bartschi's) caught on our entire trip were Swedish fish. Here are some pictures of our trip. (Hopefully I did it so you can click on the pictures to make them bigger).
Bryce climbed on every rock and fallen down log and then he insisted on trying to move them. He found his first real live pet -- a little frog. He loved that frog for a whole hour until he set it free on a lily pad. He was sad to say good-bye. Apparently he didn't get enough to eat. He wanted to eat the leftover bait. Yummy!!!!
Kendal was happiest chasing chipmunks and fishing with her pink fishing pole and eating treats. If she wasn't doing one of those three things, it seems like she was screaming about something.

Here is a picture of the die hard fishermen out in the pouring rain and hail. Kendal and I were hovered under a tree eating treats.

I could never get them to smile for me. They would only smile for our friends. (Brock was standing over my shoulder pulling faces to get them to smile.)

We had fun and we were so sad to leave. When we pulled into town the temperature at the bank said it was 100 degrees. We are already planning our next trip.

I have been waiting all day to see these. They are GREAT. Sounds like you had a wonderful time. Glad to hear that the bears couldn't find you!! You are the best picture taker and story teller. I love the picture of the kids together on the rock. That is priceless. :)

I want your trailer. That looks so cool. You will have to let me know all about it. We might get one next year. I just have to talk Adam into it. HEHE! I love the last picture. As for the worm! Gross, he needs to watch How to Eat Fried Worms. It's funny and gross. Have fun camping.
