View from our campsite. This glacial stream was ice cold and full of rainbow trout.
Not looking too bad after only one night. By the fourth day without showers we weren't lookin' so hot.
Who knew #1 was a closet pyromaniac? 
#1 new best friend, my brother's dog Sammy
Spouse and #1 at Walker Lake. Brrrr. It was cold.
#1's first fishing experience revealed that she may be a future member of PETA. She thought it cruel and unusual.
View from the trail to Walker Lake. #1 was a hiking champ.

I am SO jealous! It is so incredibly beautiful there! We are heading up to UT Monday! I can't wait! Let me know if you want to get to together, we will be in Bountiful then Layton. Wendy
WHAT FUN!! Wow, what beautiful scenery. I am so jealous, (although not so much about the hiking- it's not exactly my favorite pastime) but holy cow, to be out camping in cabins by that gorgeous lake looks like so much fun.
I am proud of #2 'watering' down the sand in front of the other 'beach space', what does that lady think, he's the first one?? Here's a tough option, COVER IT WITH MORE SAND?! :)
Yes, cabins would have been very nice. Better than the hard ground we slept on for three nights! (and warmer!)
I haven't been "real" camping for years. Filtering the water? I'm impressed!
My, my, my you guys have had quite the adventures. However, I am certain that they will pale in comparison to your activities tonight! SEE YA IN A FEW HOURS :)
That is gorgeous country! I called you at home today, forgetting you aren't there! :)
I'm just curious what YOU eat when you camp.
Looks so fun! My parents said they loved it and they were impressed with the true campers with them! How Beautiful! what did you do with your other kiddos?
