First Camping Trip of 2011!!

My first camping trip of 2011! I was sooo excited to get out of the city and up to the fresh air. Jen and her friend Lexi and I went up Friday July 15 after work and stayed until Sunday July 17. We drove up to Manti which took about 4 hours.

For Christmas, Charles got me a porta-potty. I was so excited to use it!

We set it up and this is what we used as our potty...

Awesome right? :)

Being that none of us have kids, I took a million pictures of the dogs

 

We decided it was a good time for a hike. We went down a little trail and found it was a dead end. So we headed back up the hill and got back to camp. We were all really beat! We didnt even go that far! Come to find out, we were at a high elevation so the air was really thin and we just couldn't handle it! The lighters even had a hard time!

Lucky spent a lot of time sleeping. He would sleep on my chair....then he would move to the ground....then he would walk to a new spot, dig a little and then lay down again. He basically did this all day long. What a lazy old dog!

We finally caught our breath enough to take another hike walk. And what did we find??? SNOW! Teeko was in heaven! He was rolling all over the place in the snow. It was hilarious!

Jen made a few snowballs and Teeko jumped as high as his legs would let him to catch it!

 

After our little walk, we decided to go back and get in the truck and take a long drive to try and find the spot we used to camp at when I was little. I loved that place! So we drove and drove and then drove some more! We found a lot more snow. So much snow, that it blocked the road so we weren't able to get to my spot. Oh, well. Maybe next time. We still had a lovely drive!

Lucky didnt let us down. He not only slept on the ground and on my chair, he also took a nap in the truck as we were four-wheeling on the trail.

Oh ya, That is a good time!

Then it was time for dinner! We had to have tin foil dinners of course! And they were delicious!

We were in need of some fire wood. So we found this tree and we all three picked it up and carried it to our fire. We didnt have an ax so we just burned it as it was! It was awesome!

Once the night started and Miss Pyro was taking a break from messing with the fire, I informed her that she had black all over her face. She didnt believe me so I took a picture for proof.

Oh Lucky. So so tired!

The boys are making sure we dont leave them :)

Once lucky was finally home, he did a lot of this...
