...That is to say, "Trial Lake." That is where we went for Labor Day and it was the exact opposite of that name! We enjoyed a lazy schedule and a tech-free existence for a few precious days (well, mostly tech-free, see below).
We headed up with some great friends who, thank goodness, are more experienced campers than us! As we went on, I found that I had forgotten several important camping staples (oh, like hot dogs and marshmallows!) and it was so nice to have them there too! Here we are making our foil dinners...
... with some fire-roasted cookies for dinner. Mmmmmmmmm, smokey.
We went on several walks and hikes. We were able to hike all the way around Trial Lake. Baby Sunrise did great and all the kids were troopers. This side of the lake had a parking lot, but the other side was filled with lush trees and tons of fallen trees and rocks to climb around.
Here are our camping buddies, they are the best!
Are here we all are, on the other side of the Lake.
And here was our lone connection to the outside world! Thunder's one requirement on this camping trip was that we find a way to watch the BYU-Oklahoma football game. As the time got closer for the trip, I too started getting excited for the start of football season. There were so many trees, it took a few HOURS to find the correct satellite signal, but right about game time, we got it! And it was an AWESOME game, go Cougs!
The Harmers were also kind enough to give everyone sail boat rides on the lake. So relaxing!
Good food, good friends and God's green earth. How can life get any better than this?
