Camping and Mud

Yep we went camping this last week and it was very interesting and fun and tiring. So this was the family reunion on my Mom's side and it was great to see everyone. We went to Moon Lake up in the Uintas. This a picture from a hike Graydon went on of the lake. Isn't it pretty!















Well we left when Kayla was getting ready for her nap so that she would sleep through as much of the car ride as possible. And it worked until we hit a road block and got stopped and she woke up. Lucky for us she behaved and we were pretty close to being there. We got there and she looked around and couldn't figure out what to do with all the rocks and dirt and pinecones. But don't worry she figured it out. Here is a picture of her before she headed out to get nice and dirty for the rest of the week.














Well it was really cold that first night so I didn't sleep so well and either did Kayla so we got little sleep. Lucky for us there was so much for Kayla to see that she wasn't too grumpy from the lack of sleep. It wasn't long until Kayla got really dirty so her is a picture of one of our many clean up seasons and some cute pictures from when grandpa put his hat on her.



















So when everyone got there we totaled I believe 24 people in all and that was missing my
Aunt Barbara because she had back surgery. We missed her that's for sure. Well my Aunt Marie made us all shirts and each family had a different color. Check out this nice looking group.














Us in our cute shirts and my little family with my parents and brothers.



































So lucky for us my aunt had pasted down a pretty amazing hiking baby backpack. Kayla loved being in this thing. Graydon even took her on a 3 and a half hour hike in this thing. I didn't go on the hike because my asthma was acting up and I wasn't completely better from the sickness the week before. Here is my little bug just hangin' out in the backpack.





























My Uncle Reed brought his dog and well Kayla is actually afraid of dogs. Well we took this as an opportunity to introduce her to dogs and show her that they aren't scary. So at first she didn't want to be near the dog but by the end she was grabbing our hands to take her down to see the dog. Oh and she learned to say dog, she would point at her and say dog with a really quiet g. Here she had gotten my mom to take her to see the dog.














So the last night it rained!!!! Oh did it rain and hailed and was freezing! It rained so hard that our tent leaked, lucky for us my brothers were staying in a tent so my parents had plenty of room for us in their tent tailor. Yeah for that because it was a lot warmer for us when Kayla woke up screaming. She wasn't even really awake but she just screamed and screamed and wouldn't be consoled. Eventually she went back down and we got a little bit of sleep before coming home the next day.

So my mother-in-law was watering her lawn and Kayla keep trying to get into the sprinkler. So we took off her dress and let her go at it in her onesie. Well since she was wet she also got into some mud. She was so dang cute that I just didn't care that she was getting so dirty. Also here are some cute picture of her with her daddy.
