We returned today from my family’s trip to Fish Lake, UT. My family has never really had an official get-together where we all go away somewhere together, so I hope this will be the beginning of a lovely tradition. And, what better place to start than at Fish Lake? If you haven’t been there, you should go. It’s quite charming. There were so many fun moments, I will name just a few of my favorites:
1. Teaching my sister how to say Mytoge (repeat after me: My-toe-gee. Not toe-my-bee)
2. Learning how to read a compass, then doing a compass course. Why do boy scouts get to do all the fun stuff?
3. Catching a trophy fish with Janey’s Barbie fishing pole. And I didn’t take a picture! Dumb, dumb, dumb. Who is going to believe me?
4. Getting an unbeatable score of 27,430 at Hand and Foot. Go team Charlynn and Janelle! If we had a celebrity couple name it would be Chanelle. Classy!
5. Geo-Caching. It’s like a treasure hunt and a junk exchange all rolled into one!
The whole gang. Well, those of us who could make it.
My brother David teaching us girls how to read a compass before sending us off on the compass course he set up.
I can’t forget to mention this awesome tree-stand/hut thing we found on our hike. I think it made the trudge through the woods all worthwhile. (For the kids and the parents)
i’ve never been to fish lake, but i have photos of my grandparents on their honeymoon at a cabin there. i really should go sometime. that tree hut is cool!
looks like you all had lots of fun. We miss hanging out with all of you.
This is a great post. My mom was always so good at writing down some of the fun(ny) things that happened on family trips. This one looks like a hit!
Impressive hand and foot score! It looks like Joe and I might have some competition… bring it on Burns Ladies!
