Monte Cristo Camping Trip

Our most favorite place to camp as a family is Monte Cristo! It was the first place we ever camped as a family and it has remained our favorite ever since. We try to go at least once every year, but weren't able to make it last year so it made this trip extra special! We took our usual hike and took pictures of all the kids sitting in the hollowed out tree just like we did 8 years ago! It was amazing to see how the girls have grown! Taysom was Zoe's age then, how the time has flown by. We were lucky that our trip coincided with the Ogden Astrological Society's star gazing party and the members were kind enough to invite us to come and look through their telescopes friday night. They pointed out Venus, the Andromeda cluster, a bunch of nebulus's, a star nursery and all these other cool things that I can't remember right now but was super interesting at the time! The kids loved it and will remember it forever I'm sure. We also were able to drive an hour to Bear Lake and see Brady, Wendy and family who were there for her family reunion. We had a great time playing in the water and building things in the sand. Randy and I daydreamed of the time when we have our own boat to bring with us. When we returned to the campsite we had dinner, told funny/scary stories around the campfire, ("Jared! Jared!")
We couldn't have had a better trip unless we could have stayed longer!
