Decided to go out and get some time out of the city one last time before it got too cold. We packed up and left late on Thursday night just in time to set up camp and get to bed around midnight, after a terrible night of sleep for the 3 of us we were eager to get up early. Emmy had a blast setting up despite being up late and face-planting out of her backpack seat. She had her little ewok suit that kept her warm all weekend and she had a blast enjoying the fresh air and sitt

This has been a wild year and it is crazy that it is already August. Because of the new baby, the new job, taking care of the house and the car accident back in the beginning of the year totaling my Explorer, I have had a very hard time getting out into nature like I usually do and I miss it. We finally just went out and had a fantastic little weekend out in the mountains. We tried a new spot up by Roosevelt called Whiterocks Canyon. There is a river that comes out of the hi

For the 3rd year in a row we went out to Uinta Canyon for a campout on the Jensen side. It was a bit shorter this year and we only stayed for 2 nights over the weekend. Had some great time just hanging around the fire and chilling like usual. We spent far more time out fishing this time around. I went out 3 different times for a few hours each and caught quite a bit of trout and a couple pretty nice ones. I caught around 10 fish, a pile of smaller and beautiful brook trout, a

Got the Jensen side of the family together again this year for Pioneer Day weekend. Though most people were in and out for the weekend Allie, Pepsi and I were there for 3 full days and nights. This is for sure one of my favorite things that happens every year, spend time sleeping in a tent, sitting around the fire and eating meals and snacks. With the Uinta River running down the canyon and right past the creek we spend a lot of time playing in the water. I swam and did a c
