Fun Weekend

We went camping again this last weekend and it was fun and relaxing. Although, I’ve decided that I don’t know how much we’ll do it when we have little kids because Brennen did NOT want to sleep and we ended up taking him on a drive at 1:00 AM to get him to settle down.

On Friday we found a nice spot to camp, set up, then did some hiking and fishing on Deep Creek near Sand Lake in the Snowy Range. Matt and I each caught a few fish but there were SO many in the creek that just wouldn’t bite. Brennen was a good boy and seemed pretty happy in his backpack. It was so beautiful there. We got rained on on our way back to camp so Brennen and I hung out in the car for awhile while Matt got a fire started.

Saturday morning we hiked about 1.8 miles down to Crater Lake. The last half mile or so was REALLY steep but it was worth it. That was really beautiful, too, and I caught a 13” brook trout from that lake.

A few hours after we got home on Saturday my mom, dad, and both brothers came for a visit. My youngest brother Kasey moved here to start his sophomore year of college so my other family came to see him off and to visit us and Brennen. It was a great weekend!
