Wigwam

Last week I went backpacking with my dad, sisters, uncle, and cousin. We ventured into the Uintah Mountains, to Wigwam Lake. It was only about a two mile hike in. The lake was very pretty and we spent the next two days fishing, hiking, and my personal favorite, reading Harry Potter aloud around the campfire (of course, reading in a British accent).

On our hike, we went through a field that reminded me of the mountains on The Sound of Music, at the end, when the Von Trapp family crosses the border into Switzerland. I wanted to sing, "The hills are alive, with the sound of music!"

Poor Sammi tried sleeping while we fished, but the mosquitos kept bugging her.

Fly fishing. Dad's new favorite thing to do.

I tried fly fishing for the first time, and caught four fish! I like fly fishing better than normal fishing, because with fly fishing you have to constantly be doing something. In this picture, the fish moved right before dad took the picture, and I thought I was going to get fish slime on me, so I kind of freaked out.

Pretty wild flowers were everywhere in sight. This flower is called Little Red Elephants, because of the tiny trunk and ear like features.

We ate delicious fresh fish every night for a snack, then read Harry Potter around the fire. On this night, we made a HUGE fire. It was almost as tall as one of us when we were standing.

Packed up and ready to go home.
