Fourth of July at the Property

I joined my sister Kristine and my brother-in-law Trent at the property for the long Fourth of July weekend and it was an amazing trip!  I love staying at the property and it was so nice to have several days to relax this time!
When we got to the property we drove around to all of our favorite places nearby (my favorite is this formation that looks like the face of a Native American chief).  Then we came back and grilled brats and sat by the fire.
The next morning we took a day trip to Moon Lake on the back end of the Uinta Mountains.  It was a bit overcast but it was beautiful (I made a reservation to stay in one of the cabins in August).
Ebony was living her best life fetching the world's biggest stick from the lake (we brought it with us when we left and she played with it later that night).
On our way to Rock Creek we saw the Upper Stillwater Dam (the water is at historic levels!).
We had a picnic at a site in the Rock Creek campground at it was so beautiful (it started raining as soon as we finished).
When we came back to the property we barbecued burgers and I made a flag cake (I make it every year even when I am camping!).  After dinner we built another epic fire and sat outside until really late.  It was such a perfect evening because it was cool and overcast but only rained for a few minutes after we went to bed!  It was the best trip!  I hope you had a wonderful holiday with family and friends!

Fourth of July in Hanna

My sister Kristine and her family are spending the weekend at their trailer in Hanna and they invited my sister Marilyn and me to come up on Saturday to celebrate Independence Day.  It was so much fun and so relaxing!
The campground where they stay is one of my favorite places!  I love it when the wind blows through the trees and I love how blue the sky is!
We played card games, read our books (at one point there were four of us reading by the fire), went on a run to the general store for treats, roasted hot dogs and marshmallows for s'mores, and sat around the fire until Marilyn and I had to leave!  It was wonderful!
Sean makes the best s'mores!
Of course we had the traditional flag cake!  I have made it every year (with a few exceptions) since I was about seventeen!  We had a great holiday and I hope you did, too!
