Ok, so we actually never saw a bear, but apparently the Uintas are crawling with them this summer and I was nervous even before I knew that! The campground ranger told Jeff there had been 2 sightings there this summer, but he didn't tell me that until we got home. Then there were at least 2 stories about bears up there in the news the week after.
We had so much fun. It was so much cooler up there. We didn't get up to our camp until about 6 so by the time we set up we just had time for the kids to play in the dirt, have smores, and then we did some sticker mosaics in the tent trailer til bed time. Maycee talked for about an hour before she finally went to bed. She had us laughing though. Suddenly she would get quiet and then pretend to snore and say "I sleep!" That was followed by the longest rendition of the "happy birthday" song I've ever heard in my life. She talked about so many random things, but once she went to sleep she stayed asleep. And somehow her sisters fell asleep even though she was being loud.
S'more faces!
The next morning we got up and Jeff cooked breakfast. The kids couldn't eat enough. They LOVED his camp cooking. The rest of the day we explored and tried to go to a couple lakes but the bumpy roads were never ending and actually made Maycee throw up. So we ended up at Mirror lake and it was a lot of fun. It was even a little chilly there with the breeze blowing. The kids mostly loved playing at a little stream at our campground. They played in the dirt and waded a little and threw rocks. It was a really fun and relaxing day and the kids were so happy. They loved every bit of camping.
The next morning we were woken up by Maycee yelling "OH! A Bird! TWEET TWEET!" She wouldn't rest until we all knew she could hear birds. Ha ha. We had an easy breakfast and got our camp packed up and stopped at one last lake on the way home. Jeff probably would have caught a fish but the kids got bored fast so we didn't stay long. They want to fish, they just don't want to be patient. Lol.

In their boredom the wanted to pose for pictures. Sassy! Ha ha.
We can't wait to go camping again. It was really good, fun quality time and we made a lot of good memories!
