Camping






We decided that we should go camping before school starts. We went to mirror lake. We found the most beautiful spot to camp, right next to the Duchesne and Provo river merge. We took a four-wheeling ride, cooked tin foil dinners over coals, hiked around mirror lake, fished and were having a splendid time. About 8 or 9 PM this is what happened:

And it only let up for us to cook breakfast. It was kind of cool to sleep outside in a thunderstorm, and we did stay dry, but it did cause us to leave earlier than we planned the next morning. Fiora and Westong didn't seem to mind the rain at all. Savanna was cold in the morning and she fell in the river so she was wet, so she commenced a complaining streak until we left. (Much of this was her own doing, she fell three times, once into the river, and there's not much we can do about clumsiness.) She was delightful the day before so we forgave her. Jared and I are glad we went rain or not, what beautiful areas we live next to!

Wow, that sounds . . . adventurous??? We meant to go camping too, but because of weddings and whatnot, it never did work out. Maybe a fall campout?
