The weekend before school started we went with our friends Bart, Angi, Mia and Deja camping up in the Uintas. Steve took Friday off so he could help pack and so that we could get up in the mountains before dinner to get a good spot. We knew we wanted to go around Mirror Lake but did not want to have people right next to us. We found the perfect spot by the river but not close enough that we had to really worry about the kids wondering off without us - there was actually a steep hill you had to climb down to get to the river. 
After setting up camp we went for a little walk down to the river while we waited for the Williamson Family to join us at camp. Steve also drove down the mountain to get firewood since we never seem to have enough room. 
While Steve was getting firewood the boys and I had fun walking around collecting little pieces of wood and building the "T.P." that would eventually be the starter of our fire. When Steve got back we cooked some yummy bratwurst for dinner, changed into warmer clothes and eventually Angi and her family joined us. We got the fire started and enjoyed smores before calling it an early night. 
Saturday morning after having a yummy breakfast of 'Round Things' grilled up by Bart and Angi most of us headed down to the river to do some exploring. Lucas loved that mom and dad allowed him to walk in the water and get wet and especially loved finding rocks with mom that we were able to break with larger rocks. Landon was a little timid and preferred to stand on the edge of the water throwing rocks. 
After lunch Steve went for a bike ride and the boys and I went with Angi, Bart and the girls down to Mirror Lake to do some fishing. Just standing on the shore we were able to see the fish swimming in front of us but they were not interested in what we had to offer them. 
The McCormack construction site is not only fun for boys but for girls as well. Mia and little sister Deja are not afraid of a little dirt.
We ended the day with another yummy dinner - chicken this time, a walk to check out a sleeping baby bear (it was actually a pair of discarded black sweat pants) and again with the yummy smores.
Sunday was our turn to cook breakfast and we did the traditional bacon, sausage, eggs and hash browns. After packing up camp we all drove down the road and stopped at Provo River Falls. Just as we were leaving there, the clouds rolled in - perfect timing. We then again met up with Angi and her family in Kamas where we enjoyed a late lunch at the Yolk. We had a great weekend with great friends and can't wait to go again........next year.
