I'll admit I haven't been camping for about 8 years, but my boys go camping every summer. This year, Rick and the boys talked me into going for one night. Grandma and Grandpa Wardle had not been camping for a few years too, so they decided to join us. Jason and his three kids also joined us in the evening.
The preparation time for getting ready to go is pretty intense. Several days before leaving we began shopping, locating items in the garage, and arranging for pet care for the time we would be gone. Gabriela was on pioneer trek this week, and wasn't the least bit sad that she was going to miss the event. I missed having her with us though.
After all the preparation, we set out for Mill Hollow- a campground in the Uintah Mountains. Rick loves the Uintahs. He was happy about this trip. Braden was happy too since he
got to fish alot. He and Uncle Jason and Isaac spent catching fish and throwing them back in.
got to fish alot. He and Uncle Jason and Isaac spent catching fish and throwing them back in. Jesse, Grandma, and I had fun playing Uno. I actually had time to read a book. It was a little weird. I'm so used to the constant hustle and bustle at home, that I had to adjust to having a few spare hours to just relax. The mountain air was cool and fresh and smelled great. The bugs were out in full force. Braden came home with about 60 mosquito bites, but didn't seem to mind. We had tin foil dinners and roasted marshmellows and made Smores. Can you believe I had never had a Smore before? I'd have to say it wasn't impressive. Definately wasn't worth the" Weight Watcher Points". Oh well, it was good to try one. Braden roasted Starburst candy, saying this is what the boys do at his boy scout camps he goes to. These were a
ctually pretty good. That is why he is holding his stick up in the air, to let the starburst candy cool. We all slept good except for Grandpa who said he got too cold. In the morning it was time to work again and take down camp and pack everything back up again. It took us the rest of the day to bring everything home and get it all put 
away again and do the laundry involved. Overall I would say it was a lot of work, and somewhat fun. I think Rick and the boys enjoyed it more than I did, but that's ok too.
