Camping

Ever since our friend Nick had told us he wanted to go camping a month ago I had been making a list of pros and cons. Finally we just decided to give it a shot. I thought for sure it just wouldn't be any fun.
Oh how I was WRONG! Its been 2 years since Kris & I went camping last. Way to long for my taste. So I pulled out all of our camping gear on Wed and was cleaning the dust off and airing everything out. I had packed up the car and when Kris got off work a little early on Friday we were off to the Uinta's. I would have to say the best thing about our friends camping spot is its not far from the city. An hour max and it is GORGEOUS! This camping spot is in the "Upper Setting" just below Mirror Lake. A short hike to the mountain side and its one of the most beautiful views. But I am not about to share this awesome spot with the world so that's as close as you get! It was so nice to get away from the city. I really like roughing too. I am not the type of girl who has to be clean while camping. Its not camping unless your hands are dirty! When we arrived we set up camp and started a fire for dinner. When we finally were done it was dark and Cooper had fallen asleep. By the way Cooper is the cutest thing in 2 layers of fleece jammies and 2 fleece blankets with a fleece beanie on! That is the definition of a "burrito baby"! Anyway nothing too exciting the first night just trying to stay warm next to the fire until we were tired enough to put it out.
Saturday we up before the rooster! Cooper usually wakes up around 6 a.m. takes a bottle and then will sleep for another couple of hours. Yeah not while camping!! He was up and chatting before the sun was! It was cute but we really could have used another hour of sleep. After breakfast and a little closer to noon we decided to go for a hike/walk to try and get Coop to take a nap. So I put him in the snugglie and hauled him around for a half hour or so. It was a nice walk on a dirt road. We were also trying to kill time until a couple of Kris's friends showed up. But once they arrived the fun started! There was alot of drinking, playing bean bag toss, washu's, "hunting" for wood, and just good conversation.

The rest is boring. Packing up camp and heading home.
