"A Camping We Will Go..."

So, we have officially kicked off our summer camping season and are so excited about it! For those of you who don't know this, we have been going to a particular spot up near beautiful Bryce Canyon for about 15 years now. We love this spot because it so secluded and private. We have a whole valley to ourselves and yet are just a few miles from Tropic Reservoir, Pine Lake, Bryce Canyon, the Boulder Mountains, Otter Creek and much, much more. So, it really is a central location to all the places we love to fish and spend time during the long hot summer months. We take our tent, etc and just set it up and leave it up there for the entire summer. I love this because it eliminates all the packing and hauling-well just work! We love it!

We have some great new friends-the Harmans-who seem more like family to us, that live down in Tropic, Utah. Tropic is not very far from our campsite and so the Harmans came up to have dinner with us on the 3rd of July. We had a great time, cooking tinfoil dinners, s'mores and samoan koko while listening to samoan music and visiting. We are so happy that we met them and are having such wonderful times with them-we just love'em!

Lani and Kiara loved our most recent camping trip. They got to go fishing, hiking and looking for deer and elk, but I think one of the main highlights for them was catching their very first ever horny toad which they named "Lizzie". Lizzie was just a baby horny toad and so, so cute! Lani carried that thing all around camp-Kiara was a little more timid about touching it-but they just loved that little creature! I finally talked them into letting it go back to it's mommy so that it wouldn't be sad and they agreed.
