Camping in the Uintas

Adah and I decided we wanted to get out of town for the holiday weekend! Adah has not been camping before and since it is one of my favorite things to do, we decided to go to the Uinta Mountains and find us a perfect camping spot! :)

My friend Steph and her husband came with us and we found the most amazing camping spot ever! We literally had no idea where we would end up when we began our road trip up the canyon, and we scouted out a few places before stumbling upon the "ideal" spot!

We had to hike our things down a small hill so that we were right by the provo river. There was a nice fire pit already built and a flat area for a tent. It was a very private secluded area and we literally had about a mile stretch of river to ourselves! It really doesn't get better than that!

Adah was in the water immediately, and I of course took a million pictures for Rob to see how well she swims and to show him how much fun she was having! She swam for 24 hours straight! I had to put her on a leash eventually, just to get her to dry off enough so she could go to bed inside the tent. :)

For Dinner we had tin foil dinners and Adah licked the tin foil spotless once we were finished. With a full belly and beyond exhausted we hit the sack and prayed we wouldn't have any curious animals coming around throughout the night.

I posted some videos of Adah playing in the river the next day. She was retrieving logs that were longer than her! They weren't sticks, they were actual logs!!! I couldn't believe her strength and determination! She was not satisfied until the whole log was out of the water! :) It was incredibly fun to watch her play! We are defintitely looking forward to Rob coming home and being able to take more camping trips, and hopefully visit this place again! The pictures do not do it justice!
