Fischer Family Reunion 2012- Uinta Mountains

We went camping for Randy's family reunion. We stayed at East Fork of the Bear River in the Uintas. 

Nanny and Papa could only come for one day. Nanny was scheduled for knee surgery so they came up to visit the day before she went to the hospital. Brad said he was going to call her "newknee" instead of Nanny from now on. He thought he was so cleaver. He was laughing at himself every time he said it. Good thing Nanny has a good sense of humor.

Papa took the kids for a ride.

Harrison loved being outside. He was so content just hanging out in the playpen watching everyone.

Nanny and Papa watched the kids so Randy and I could go on a ride. Since having kids we don't get to go on too many rides together. It was so nice.

When Nanny and Papa got there they wanted to rest for a bit. The kids wouldn't have that. They begged and begged to do something. The grand-kids got their way. Of course.

While the boys were out on a ride, Claire made Nanny and I some mud soup and grass salad.

That night we drove to Butterfly lake to do some catching.

The kids didn't leave Papa's side all night.

They fished until it was dark and they could no longer see. They caught quite a few. 

One of the days we were there we visited our friends the Heaps who have a ranch in Evenston. They have a small river that runs through the property. The kids had a blast trying to catch crawfish and critters in the stream.

We didn't pack our swimsuits so they lent Brad this really old swimsuit. He couldn't keep it on his cute little bum. We were laughing pretty good. 

A quick stop at the Bear river

We were camped right by a fox den. This little baby fox would let the kids get right up next to it. It was adorable. I don't know who was more curious...the fox or the kids. 

Bradley loved the freedom of trial riding instead of our field next door. There were so many trails for riding. It was beautiful. 

Practicing a bit of archery

Hooray for trailer freezers so we can enjoy icecream bars while camping.

 Claire caught a million butterflies with her bug net. They were everywhere.

Every time we went fishing Claire wanted to plant a kiss on all the fish. I think she has the "Frog Prince" story confused.

Randy took Harrison on a quick ride through camp. He was loving it.

We were there alone for the first few days then Matt, Tori, Lance, and Kendra came up Friday night. (Tim and Kamie couldn't join us this trip...we really missed them)

On Saturday night we drove to Whitney Lake for more fishing. Kendra made some yummy dinner on the beach.

Brad caught the only fish at Whitney Lake. He was so proud of himself.

Harrison enjoying life as usual. 

On the way home we drove to Christmas Meadows to look for moose. It was so stunningly beautiful. These pictures just don't do it justice. 

We watched the most gorgeous sunset. It was the perfect ending to a perfect week. It was a great trip.
