Christmas Meadows

We had a super fun weekend camping in Christmas Meadows in the Uintahs. I love camping in the Uintahs because its so beautiful. I also love that it only takes about an hour for us to get to campgrounds in the Uintahs.

So we packed up Thursday and took off after dinner. Holy cow. It takes so much stuff just to go camping for a couple of nights. The truck was full to overflowing. Anyway, we set up camp when we got there and didn't do too much else. It got cold that night. Sage ended up in my sleeping bag, but Zack and Kate were troopers. Zack is a born camper. He does not get cold. He was half out of his sleeping bag and totally warm all night. He can also hike forever. Its great.

Friday morning we went for a fun hike. There was tons of run-off from the snow melting, so it was a wet, muddy hike. We were actually surprised at how much snow was still up there. Mirror Lake and all the campgrounds around it were still totally covered in snow. Luckily our camp site was at a lower elevation so we were fine. In fact, the weather Friday and Saturday was perfect.

Our friends came up to camp Friday afternoon and we had lots of fun. We took the kids fishing. Unfortunately, the fish didn't show up. Even the big boys tried their hand at catching us some dinner, but no such luck. That night we had s'mores around the campfire. So much fun. That's about my favorite part of camping. The kids loved it.

Saturday morning we had some good pancakes and bacon for breakfast. I love a good breakfast in the mountains. Then we played softball with the kids. We packed up and headed home after that. It was so nice to get away. Very fun and relaxing. We all loved it.
