The Fourth

To celebrate our Fourth of July weekend we went camping up in the Uinta Mountains

Our campsite was pronounced 'Du Shane'- don't get too creative here people

 We were patriotic and even brought a small flag to put outside our tent! Check out our cool site, and the raging fire I made...with a little bit of Austin's help :)

Because of the never ending winter here in Utah, the water was really high and we got to see these really cool waterfalls!

In the upper mountains there was about 3-4 feet of snow still!

Check out his leg almost all the way in the snow!

There was a hike Austin really wanted to do in the upper mountains but it was all covered in snow. But through his perseverance we tried to do the hike anyways. We made it about 20 yards or so...until Austin fell through a bit of snow and decide the hike 'wasn't such a good idea' 

We also went mountain biking, in the lower greener parts. It was beautiful!

Right before I 'bumped' those rocks at the bottom

Fun Fact: chewing tree sap turns it into gum! As taught by Austin's Grandma Sloan

We also got to snatch a peek at a mama moose and her baby in the wiiiillllld!

Looks like we found ourselves a new favorite adventure spot! We couldn't believe this was just a little over an hour away from Orem; we will definitely be going back soon!
