Bridger Lake

We had such a fantastic summer and a great first week of school so we went on our grand finale, goodbye to summer trip with just the 6 of us to Bridger Lake in the Uintahs.

We had a very nice campsite, roasted hot dogs and smores, played games, enjoyed a good rain storm, walked around the lake, and slept in.

We went to the Mountain Man Rendezvous at Fort Bridger. We toured the original buildings, saw reinactments, looked at cool gear, listened to a storyteller, pet (and fed sunflower seeds to) the Sheriff's horses, learned about beaver trapping, and lots of other cool mountain man stuff.

We hiked part of the Red Mountain trail which was beautiful. Griffin had a little mishap with the mushy mud, Zachary and Jeremy pushed over some dead trees (feats of strength), and we enjoyed the cool (and perfect) hiking weather.

We drove home along the Mirror Lake Highway. It added an hour to the trip home, but it was well worth the beautiful drive. I appreciate that Jeremy appreciates beautiful things and that he provides good opportunities for our children (and me) to value God's amazing creations.
