Camping at Gooseberry

Knowing how crazy busy we would be for the rest of our time here in Utah, we did what we could to fit in a camping trip while we were here. My Curtis family had a reunion in central Utah near Gooseberry Campground, so we spent the night at the campground as a family and then joined the extended family the next day. It was great!

Hanging out in the grass. We tried to keep Claire on a blanket because all she wanted to do was eat rocks.

Getting ready for a little hike. Man they both look so cute!

What beautiful aspens.

Indian Grass - I love this stuff.

Smily Haven.

We planned to sleep out under the stars but set up a tent too. Good thing we did because it POURED on us! We're no longer a one tent family though, and Chad slept out under the tarp. It worked out okay more or less.

The next day we joined the reunion and got to try out my uncle's new enormous zip line.

Haven thought this was really fun.

I love the yellow against the sage here.

My grandma's 96th birthday was July 19th.

Later that day we went over to the nearby lake for some canoe time. It was really neat there because there were TONS and TONS of dragonflies everywhere. I wish I had brought my camera out on the lake because they were mixed up in the grass growing in the water and it was beautiful!
