Camping

Our first weekend in Utah we went camping with my brother and his family to celebrate my nephew's 5th birthday. We went up near the trailhead of the Hight Uintah mountains. It is so beautiful up there! There is a lake with a huge dam. Since the upper country in Utah is flooding the spillway on the dam was overflowing. It was beautiful to watch! It was super loud though. We camped somewhat close to it and we could hear it roaring all the time. It over flows every couple of years depending on the spring runoff waters, but I've never seen it overflowing like this! It was crazy!

Starting from the left, there's Zach, my mom, my nephew Don, Skyli, and my niece Leah. The other 3 I don't know. 

My grandma Merkley and my mom.

To the side of the dam there's a trail that leads you up into the High Uintahs. The little people up there are my dad, brother Dwayne, sis-in-law Mele, and niece Becca. You can barely see them. Here's a cool fact, my dad helped build this dam years ago.

The kids decided to throw rocks in the river, of course.

The biggest kid of all throwing rocks in the water. :) My nephew loved it! He laughed and cried, "Again, again" everytime.

It's beautiful all around up there!

Getting ready to head back to camp. Sky said she was hungry so she nestled her self up in my moms car until she got some applesauce.

Thank you to my brother, brothers family and my dad for taking us camping. We had a blast! Sky still talks about camping with her Don Don. We love you guys and enjoyed spending time with you all!
