For those who would like a brief glimpse into a few of our camping trips this season, I’ve posted some pictures from our stays at Hades and Tanner’s Flat in the gallery.

Over the weekend, we had our final camping trip of the season. This time we went to Hades campground which is along the banks of the Duchesne River in the Uinta Mountains with my side of the family. This is a location that we discovered last year. It immediately became one of our favorite places to set up camp. When I learned that some of my cousins had never been camping or fishing, I took it upon myself to remedy the situation and organized this family reunion of sorts. Hades made perfect sense because not only is it beautiful, but the fishing is amazing.

This past weekend we took the family into the mountains again. This time we spent three days up Big Cottonwood Canyon with a lot of Holly’s family. All in all, there were close to 30 of us which made for a lot of fun.
It was a pretty uneventful trip. There was no fishing but we did spend Friday morning hiking to Donut Falls. Apparently the “donut” was destroyed a while back so now it’s just “Falls”. It was a relatively short hike but with 12 kids in tow, it took us longer than I expected to complete. A few of us finished the hike with some bumps and bruises but nobody was seriously hurt which is good.

Friday night marked the beginning of the Zohner family camping season. It also happened to be the annual Fathers and Sons camp out.
Unlike last year, I was able to escape the office early enough to get everything ready to go at a decent time. Unfortunately, Holly didn’t get off work until 5:30 so Alex and I had to work with Holly’s schedule to ensure that the girls weren’t left alone until she got home. In an effort to save some time, we met with Holly on our way to Morgan where we said our goodbyes and dropped of Hannah and Emma. Holly was on her way back from Ogden so it worked out really well and saved us quite a bit of time.

Last Friday we loaded up the van and headed back up into the mountains to do some more camping. We liked where we camped a few weeks ago so much that we decided to go a few miles up the road. Actually, the campgrounds were all reserved months ago. We just happened to get lucky in the fact that they were great places to pitch a tent. But I digress…
Camping with friends is always more fun so we went with our friends, John and Dana Rimington and their three daughters. For additional fun points, we also brought along Chelsea and her soon to be husband, Nick. We tried to get my brother, Ryan, to come too but he had to work. Maybe next time… It was really nice spending time with everybody. The kids enjoyed playing with John and Dana’s girls and they loved having Nick and Chelsea along. I know though that if Ryan had been able to make it, he would have been the star of the weekend. The kids love playing with him so much.

Over the weekend we took the kids and once again went camping. This time, we decided to avoid Logan Canyon and headed up to the Uintah mountains. We had a great campsite and enjoyed ourselves immensely. We didn’t do much except sit around camp and eat marshmallows but it was nice to relax and enjoy nature.
Holly’s sister, Jen, and her family came with us. it was nice to be able to spend some time with them. Her brother, Lynn, also brought up his kids for dinner. We were sad that they weren’t able to spend the night but it was nice that they could come up for a few hours.
While we were there, I managed to get in a little bit of fishing on the Duschene River. The fish were jumping like crazy but I didn’t even get a bite. We’re heading back up for a two-day trip in a few weeks. I better check the fishing reports before we go so that I can have better luck.

A lot has happened in the past week that I’ve wanted to blog about but work has kept me too busy. I’ve been working long hours and then, when I get home, there’s so much to do that I don’t usually get a break until around 8:00.
This weekend, we decided to take a break from our busy lives and take the family camping with some of our friends. Like last year, we headed up Logan Canyon with hopes of catching some big fish and, like last year, we came back empty handed. I’m getting a bit ahead of myself though. Let me start at the beginning.

Last night was the annual fathers and sons campout for our ward. When I learned about it a week ago, I decided that it would be a good opportunity for me to spend some time with just Alex. I figured that he would enjoy camping with just me. It turns out that I was right. We had a great time.
Because I got off of work a few hours later than I had planned, we got a late start. Combine the late start with rush hour traffic through a construction zone and, by the time we got to Morgan, it was after 7:00. There was no way that I was going to set up camp and make dinner before it got dark so we stopped at Subway and got some sandwiches. As we sat at a table eating our dinner, Alex seemed pretty pleased with the fact that it was just the two of us. That is, until he got mad at me for forgetting to ask for pickles on his sandwich. Lucky for me though, he got over it pretty quickly. I think that it had something to do with the bar-b-que chips that I got for him.

Last night we were having dinner with our friends, the Rimingtons. It was suggested that we need to go camping again this year like we did last September. (For images from that trip, click here.) I mentioned to Holly how I wanted to get a new sleeping bag before we go since I’ve been using the same one since I was 10. She agreed and mentioned how it would be cool to get a dutch oven to take with us. It appears that a shopping trip was planned.
Today we drove up to Smith and Edwards to check out the camping supplies. We both got new sleeping bags. Emma got one too. We also picked up a 12″ dutch oven. I’m very excited to try out all of our new gear.
