First Stop: Camping in Southern Utah
When we left Friday morning, we decided to make the drive up to Southern Utah, where we found a great place to camp just past Navajo Lake, in the Grand Escalante National Forest. It was a beautiful place, but in the morning after making some breakfast burritos we were attacked by a swarm of horse flies.
Rather then fight them, we fed them. Since we realized they were attracted to the scrambled eggs, we decided to take some of the extras and throw it under a tree, which they all flew to... The girls loved the outdoors, and enjoyed the opportunity to help me put up the tent. I too thought it was a great moment to share together.One of the best stories from our camping adventures was my moment of shame when taking the girls fishing. Well I have not been fishing in over 20 years, and last time I went, we had push button casters. This time I purchased a open face reel, not realizing there was a different action to make it work. The girls were so excited to finally go fishing and in fact have been jumping off the walls talking about it. When we finally get out to fish, and spending 30 or so minutes preparing the reel ect, I go out to cast it, and could not get it to go more then 5-10 feet in front of us. After several tries and tangled line in the spool, we finally gave up and decided that we would learn from someone that actually knows how to do it. Here are some additional photos from our camping.
