4th of July

We went camping and 4-wheeling up in the Uintas over the 4th of July weekend. We met up with my mom, Jim, Daniel, Aunt Karen and Uncle Gene. My cousins Staci and Kjerstin and their families came up the next day, just before we were about to leave so we didn't get to spend much time with them. This was Ryan's first time camping, and he handled it like a champ. We got some fun pictures, but I'm still kicking myself for leaving the camera at camp when we went on a "short" ride. The views were beautiful with the wildflowers in full bloom. We also saw a cow moose and her calf! We stopped along the trail for a quick break, and it just happened to be about 20 yards from the moose just downhill from the trail. It was pretty neat, but also a little unnerving. We stayed pretty close to the 4-wheelers and kept an eye on her. Neat experience though. Weekends like this make me really look forward to moving back to Utah so we can do more things like this with family.

Grandpa brought his gas-powered remote control car. The 'boys' had a good time playing with it on the dirt roads.
