Uinta Adventure 2010

We made our annual trek up to the Unitas and Ruth Lake this past weekend. We had such a great time and we even took Jack with us this year. He is getting so big! The pictures aren't in order because my brain doesn't work today but that is OK.

This is the view from our tent. It was the lake right above Ruth...maybe Naomi but I'm not sure. We caught two frogs here and saw two moose. The flowers were spectacular and it was the perfect camping spot.

This is Jack eating his breakfast. Aiden made the menu bacon sandwiches. So we had English muffins, cheese and precooked bacon all toasted together over the fire. I thought they were great.

Aiden caught a salamander. He got soaking wet in the process, but he got it.

Can you see Russell and the kids at the very top of the cliff? We were fishing at the lake below and they climbed up the cliff while I watched the poles. They could see the fish swimming in the lake right by the poles but none of them took a bite!

Eliza and Jack had the best time with the worms. They built this little worm house, they named them and had the best time. Those worms were great pets for the afternoon.

Here we are at the trail head...ready for our adventure. It was cold so we were prepared with our big coats.

Here are the backpackers. Eliza carried all of her cloths and band aids the whole way up and back. Jack carried his blankets most of the way up, but then they got "too heavy" and his awesome brother Aiden carried it the rest of the way up and back. Aiden was a big guy this year and carried his own sleeping bag and cloths. We are training them well!

Here is Aiden with his pack. He was so much fun on the trip, so nice, never complained and very helpful. He might be growing up a little bit!

Isn't it gorgeous? Both Eliza and the meadow! I love the little stream and the green grass. It was so beautiful up there!

Here are the hikers by the Ruth Lake sign. We had such a fun time. Can't wait for next year.
