End of Summer camping

The Plan: Go camping 2-3 times this Summer
Reality: We were only able to go once the last weekend of Summer.

We went to Mirror Lake in the Uinta National Forest with my brother Tyler and his wife Aimee and our kids.
We took a 2 mile hike to get to the lake. 
Malaya loves the outdoors and hiking, but eventually Greg ended up packing both kids.

Waiting around the fire for some dutch oven dinner

It turned out pretty good and it was super easy. 
Meatballs, potatoes, onion, carrots, and cream of mushroom. 

Dutch oven monkey bread. 
(it was a little burnt on the bottom, but still good)
                                      
We knew it was going to be cold at night so we took Greg's huge hunting tent. We stayed warm all night thanks to the wood stove.

We loved being out with all the leaves changing and the beautiful surroundings. It was a lot of fun. (minus Ace crying all night and me having horrible stomach pain) Malaya was so excited to sleep outside. She kept telling us that it was bed time all day just so she could go in the tent. Good times.
