What we did on Summer Break Part 3

One of our favorite places to camp it at Moosehorn Lake located on the Mirror Lake Highway in the Uintah mountains in Utah.  We have had the most wonderful family camping trips and this one was no exception.  

 After the rain of Moon Lake on our earlier cabin trip we were so pleased to have a nearly rain free camping trip at Moosehorn.  Mark had many fishing buddies including my Dad and 4 out of 5 of our children.  Every single one of them had fun fishing and it was a joy to me to watch DeeDee and MiMi actually fish on their own with minimal help from Mark.  My Boy loved being Daddy's fishing buddy and was able to catch a few fish also.

 The area around Moosehorn is so beautiful.  The pines, aspens and the lake make for a most wonderful and peaceful setting.  Our camp spot was 50 yards from the water so we could sit in camp and watch everyone fish.

We did simple meals and no one went hungry.  The 2 oldest girls made up their own scavenger hunt and played hide and seek with their younger siblings.  MaeMae had a more enjoyable time because the ground wasn't as bumpy and she had been walking for longer.

 

Grandpa took the 4 older kids on a hike around the Lake.  They all made it despite the rocky part where there isn't much of a trail and you have to do a bit of climbing.  I was proud of them all and Grandpa had so much fun with them.

 I was so glad that my parents could come up with us.  They really did have an enjoyable time and we had a wonderful time with them.  We really love being in such a beautiful place.
