Labor Day Weekend

Scott and I decided to go camping up to the Uintas again, just the two of us. We had asked our kids and David and Kathy, but no one wanted to go, so it was just us, oh and we took Ellie. We left on Friday morning early, we stopped at Matt and Amy's around 7:30 or 8:00 am to wish Matt a happy birthday, then we were on our way. We got up to camp at around 11:00 maybe 10:30 I don't remember. We set up camp and then went for a walk, it was so nice and peaceful. We fixed some lunch and than just sat by the fire and read for awhile. That evening we went to get bugs at Millcreek, Ellie was crazy in the truck, like our grandkids, so excited to be able to ride in Grandpa's truck. We went back to camp and fixed dinner. On Saturday we got up and had baking powder biscuits and scrambled eggs. It is so nice to have an oven to bake things in or just to keep things warm. We then set off to fish. Ellie would go in the water but if it got to deep she was a chicken, I think if she saw Lucy (Jason and Lori's dog) and other dogs in the water she might not be so afraid. We will have to see next year when we all are up there together. She still had a ball chasing sticks that we would through into the river and she would have to go get them.




Sunday was just sitting around reading or crochetting going for a ride, walking around, having french toast, bacon, sausage and hasbrowns for breakfast, so I didn't need to eat until dinner. It was just a day of peace and quiet until a herd of sheep and all came through our camp. All of the bahhing started to get old. I told Scott I wished we could change the station, it got to be annoying listening to the same thing over and over. We started on our way back to home on Monday and got home about 5:00 pm, it was nice to get home and shower. It is always nice to go for awhile but I am always glad to get into my own bed and get cleaned up. We had a great time. Scott said we wants to make it a tradition every year, but I reminded him of the traffic of the holidays, so maybe the week before or the week after we will just have to see.
