Camping

We went camping from July 27th-July 29th and it was a blast!!!! we went to Sulphur Campgrounds about 45-50 minutes outside of Kamas, UT. It was literally in the middle of the forest. it was so beautiful and reminded me so much of Washington. I didn't realize how much i missed Washington until this trip!! Utah is very pretty but nothing is like my home, Washington state. We all had such a blast even though there was a storm on the Saturday we were up there. luckily it only lasted about 2-3 hours :). The trip began on Friday after work. It was HILARIOUS fitting all of our stuff along with 4 adults and 1 child in our little Toyota corolla! We BARELY fit lol. I drove and Liz was in the front seat while Curtis, Dane and Adilyn were in the back. Everyone was so smashed but poor Dane and Curtis had absolutely no room to move while holding coolers and other stuff. After the 2+ hour drive we made it to the most beautiful campground. we had the best campsite by far. We were right on the river and had one of the biggest sites there. The first night was pretty rough for Adilyn. She has always had a hard time sleeping in new places so we were kinda expecting our nights there to be pretty tough. On Saturday we were going to go on a hike to a few lakes we saw driving up to our campground until we found out the closest lake was about 5-8 miles away and there was NO way we could do that with the time frame we had. So we jumped in the car and drove to one of the lakes we saw. It was butterfly lake and it was so gorgeous! Dane went fishing while Curtis, Liz, Adilyn and myself walked around a bit and had lunch. Then we decided to head back to Kamas because we were out of firewood. So Dane stayed at butterfly lake while the 4 of us went to buy more firewood. Sadly while we were gone Dane was stuck in a rain storm. :( luckily he didn't get too wet. We got back and picked Dane up and went back to our campsite to find 2 moose across the river from our campsite. Me, Liz and Adilyn were in the tent so we didn't have to worry about Adilyn freaking out the moose plus it was still pretty wet outside and still sprinkling. when the sun came out and it started to get dry we made a fire and had tin foil dinners and they were SO good! That night we all went to bed around 9:30. That night Adilyn slept wonderfully! She didn't wake up at all and we got to sleep in until about 8:00am!! Luckily, we all got a GREAT nights sleep. The next morning we had a fire and just relaxed before we had to pack up our stuff. On the way home we were all pretty sad because we didn't want to leave. We loved it so much up there that we decided that we were going to go back up there possibly before the summer ends but definitely next summer! we had such a great time!! Here are some pictures for our trip! :)
