My Damn Weekend

OR perhaps it is more kosher to say 'My Reservoir Weekend'. 

That is not all I did this weekend (it just took up most of it), I actually had a fun-filled action packed weekend. I kicked it off with the Harry Potter Finale! It was AMAZING, as always, but even better cause the put in all the stops for the last one. I LOVED IT!

On Friday morning I left with my parents to go on a little camp-out. They haven't used their trailer yet this year and wanted to take it nearby for a little test run to make sure everything is working alright. I had Friday off work so I decided to tag along. Our intention was to go to Wasatch, up in Heber Valley, but they were all booked up, we checked out a ton more camp-sights and they were all booked up too, so we ended up at a place in Coalville. Which was nice, a little flooded, but nice and quite. We spent most of Friday driving around checking out campgrounds and different Damn's. 

I was pretty tired from my late night before so I missed out on a couple of the first Damn's like East Canyon and Pine View. But I when I woke up we went to Jordanelle, Echo, and Lost Creek (which is the photo above and below). I like the Lost Creek one very much! It was so peaceful there and very off the beaten path.(Sidenote: Tierney if you are reading this, we are going fishing here)

 We didn't have a fire pit at the campground, cause it was flooded so we went to Taggart's for dinner (always  great food) and then drove around some more. After we went back to our trailer, we played some game-age and then went to bed. I really wanted to sleep outside, but the ground was too wet for a tent so I slept in the bed of my Dad's truck. When I woke I up I was sitting there talking to my Dad about fishing when I heard a big splash! I thought fish first since that is what we were talking about.....

 but I was way off!!! It was a MOOSE, actually is was 2 of them! (if you are Brian Regan fans, it was a flock of Moosen (hehe)). It was SO COOL! They were SO CLOSE!!! I took the picture with my phone cause that is all I had with me. Luckily they were close that I still got some good pictures.

 I am telling you right now, that if I could wake up every morning to something like that... I would! It was just SO NEAT!

 We packed up and left the trailer parked somewhere while we drove around again. We went to Strawberry and checked out the campgrounds and the beautiful sights there.

This place has always had a negative aura for me, for reasons that I will not get into now, but I thought it was a very beautiful place. It was huge, for one thing, for another I loved the color of the water. 

 Another one of Strawberry. 

 I realized at this point that I didn't have any pictures with people in them, and my Mom always says tells my dad that there should be more people in his pictures, so I thought I should take one of people. Welp, this is all  you get. Weird, I know.

Then last of all we went to Current Creek, which was also a pretty calm cool place. With lots of beautiful wildflowers.Welp, I think we have scouted out some pretty cool places to go. I really enjoyed this little mini trip. I saw some STELLAR VIEWS! AND I liked just driving and chilling.
When I got home I got all cleaned up and picked up my nieces, and we went to a fundraiser at the park. My friend Erika's little brother has recently been diagnosed with Cancer and they had a Fundraiser for him. It was very fun, very inspiring, and I think very successful. It is awesome to see so many people wanting to help, and show their support and love. Although I know it is a hard thing to go through, I have learned a lot from watching this family deal with this. They have been so positive, so grateful, and so giving. It is a pretty cool thing to see. They have a blog if you want to check it out, click HERE.
SO there is my CRAM-PACKED weekend. And tonight is the Weber State Fireworks. So PARTY ON!
