Hiking in the high Uintas






Monday morning we all met at Jen's house and they lead us to the High Uintas for a hike. It was really quite beautiful up there. The elevation was about 10,100 feet. The worst part was the mosquitoes. I only got bit once before I got repellent on and that bite hurt and itched for days. Anyway, the hike was only a mile long. Aaron helped me with carrying Beau. Safia walked some but then was carried by some cousin or another. The kids enjoyed playing in the SNOW in the middle of July. The lake was cold but some of the kids actually jumped in it. Talon did too. That was too crazy for me. It was very pleasant, but I ended up getting burned on my forehead and neck. Matt even got in a little fishing time, but didn't catch anything.






We left from there and traveled home. The last hour was miserable. The kids were done being in the car, especially Beau. We were so exhausted but glad to be home.

Your family really takes advantage of Mother Nature's beauty! You are always out enjoying it. Your kids will have many fond memories of that. What a beautiful place.
