Flaming Gorge, UT

We headed out of town this weekend...west, to Flaming Gorge, UT.

A large portion of the trip was on unpaved roads. I am serious!

But, we finally made it and E was so excited!

New camping chair was a hit!

She helped put up the tent :)

And played in the tent...

We walked down to the water from our campsite. It was COLD!

Waiting on dinner!

Roughing it!

The night was looooong with little sleep. We are going to have to reevaluate our camping set up for next time. This mama cannot spend another night on the cold ground with a restless 2 yr old on top of her! 

We were up, packed and out of our campsite by 7:30 am!  Moving on...

This is the dam that controls the water...Will will have to tell you more about that. All I know is it was really impressive!

Red Canyon looking down on Flaming Gorge.  We were about 1500 ft above the water!  

And of course we had to stop to see the horsies...

This nice guy gave E some treats and let her feed them to the horse, Gus.  She did it fearlessly.  He ate them right out of her hand!

The beautiful Green River in WY on our way home.

This girl was dirty and sleep deprived and trapped in the car for a looong time but she did so great!  She talked constantly in excitement at her new surroundings but rode great!  I see more road trips in our future...maybe in a hotel :)
