24th of July in the Uintas

We spent the 24th of July up in the Uinta Mtns. The first day and night the weather was perfect. It was nice having some alone time with Payten. Abby and Aidan were on vacation with their Dad and Step-mom and Dallin and Tyson had to work. Melly's family came up the next day and brought the rain with them. The thunderstorms were impressive. I love watching and listening to storms roll in. It does hamper some of the activities we like to do while camping, but on the other hand it forces us to to pack in a little closer. It was fun playing card games and visiting during the storms. All the while Grandpa was hiking around in the forest collecting branches trying to keep the fire going. Our wimpy house dogs were exhausted from all their freedom. Mel and I would have to occasionally go check on them after we got home to make sure they were alive. Payten caught his first fish while at the dam. He was the only one to catch a fish as we were quickly chased out of there by a torrential downpour and the impressive claps of thunder overhead. It was a fun trip despite the rain and a few problems we had with our NEW trailer.
