Wasatch Park

 For Conference Weekend I tagged along with my parents up to Wasatch Park for a little camp-out. On the way up we stopped at Taggart's for dinner. Were I ran into my friend Heidi that I haven't seen in FOREVER! It was good to see her. After dinner we headed up to the campground and it was so BEAUTIFUL!!!

We had a STELLAR camp site. This was the view from the picnic table, and it was secluded and surrounded by trees.

On Friday, I got up early for a morning bike ride with my Dad. It was freezing, HARD, but surprisingly a FUN RIDE! We went for a specific trail but when we checked it out it looked a little harder than my Mom's road bike (which I was riding) could handle. So we went up a dirt road for a while and the sights were quite lovely.

After that little tour, my Dad went to check out more of the trail we had intended on earlier and discovered that it was only hairy at the begining, So I walked the bike through that part and made it to a real Sa-weet path.

It was a winding trail through the sage bush. We took this picture using the timer and this post that had no signs on it. Wish there would have been cause we would have known not to keep going. We found ourselves on the expert level trail instead of the easy trail that I needed. We both managed to turf it once and decided that it was time to turn back, Still fun though, and pretty!

Later in the afternoon we went golfing at the Wasatch course (sounds like roughing it right?) It was SO PRETTY! There were leaves changing left and right, and I didn't have a horrible game, then again it was great either, but it was still FUN!

Here we are waiting to Tee-Off. We had to do this quite often, but it was all good, the better to enjoy the sights.

Here is my Mom showing off her good form.

 

Here is my Dad showing off his form. I realized that my Dad reminds me of my Grandpa when he golfs. It is quite cute....

We had a fun surprise in the form of my Aunt Kay and Uncle Bill at the same campground as us. So we invited them over for the ever famous (or infamous to some) "Mulligan Stew". It's a family tradition! I am pretty sure that every family has some form of this. Our includes 'cheeseburgers' and 'hot dogs' floating in soup. hehehe. I made that sound so bad! I have heard some refer to it like this, and I am pretty sure what you are picturing would seem really soggy. Let me clarify. It is sliced potato's, onions, and carrots in soup like form, and topped with beef patties and vienna sausages, covered with cheese. It is quite good actually. Anyway it was really fun to have them there!

Ryan joined us on Saturday morning and stayed with us until Sunday night to listen to conference. It is so much better to listen to it out there in nature. For example while laying in a hammock this was my view while I listened to a couple of talks. Pretty sweet right? Also, it was funny to notice the campground was pretty quite while the session was going but right after the prayer there was a bushel of activity everywhere! Anyway was so nice and rejuvenating, I loved it! Here are a couple more pictures.

I asked my Dad to strike a camping pose and this is what I got......

Here is the cozy hammock I was talking about. It was so very nice!

Here are my precious parents.

Here is me and my precious brother. awe....
Anyway, it is always rejuvenating to be out in nature, but mix it with some uplifting and much needed conference talks, I am fully recharged!
