Camping at Lost Lake, Uinta Mountains

Renn, Eric, and I went camping for 3 days in the high Uinta Mountains. It was a great trip and nice to be out in nature.

Eric playing in the pine needles. I tried to keep him out of the dirt, but then I realized that all he wanted to do was play in it, so I figured why not! He absolutely loved it and had so much fun exploring and throwing rocks in the creek with Renn.

Eating breakfast in our mosquito net tent. We got one after our camping trip last summer in Idaho with Raelene because the mosquitoes we so thick we didn't dare take Eric out. This trip we were prepared!


Eric slept great between Renn and me

Enjoying the Summer

We have been having a great time this summer hiking, camping and spending time outside. Eric loves to play in the flowers and the grass. He even likes to pick up pill bugs and let them crawl on his hand.

Helping Daddy mow the lawn.



We went to the zoo with Carrie, Grant and Drake. It is so much fun and Eric loved to watch the animals, especially the monkeys.






This giraffe is cleaning out Eric's ear :)


Hiking to the Timpanogos Caves with Rhett and Raelene


Beautiful cave pool


Awesome cave ceiling-it looks like a hand reaching out to grab you


Eric really enjoyed the cave. He was so enthralled with the many formations.




Soda straws and Helictites


Carrying Eric down the mountain, we had to leave the pack outside and pick it up on our way out.





Eric loves hiking because he can look at everything. He loves to watch the birds and point them out whenever he sees them.


Getting a drink of water


I guess he got hungry on the car ride home.


Hiking to the old Christmas Tree Farm, it was such a beautiful day and we counted 30 different wildflowers.
