Camping with Friends

I know I did a slide show on my last post, but I had a lot of pictures this time and I think they're fun so I thought I'd do another one for this post. Last weekend we went camping by Echo Lake with our friends Kelly, Melissa and Dave. Just as we got to camp we saw these moose! They were only about 20 feet away from our car and probably 50 feet away from our camp! It was really cool to see them up close like this, but kind of nerve racking since moose are known for attacking ESPECIALLy when they are with their young. As you can see we saw the mamma moose with two baby moose and the daddy moose was just across from them. I guess the correct thing to call them would be the Bull, Cow and Calfs, but then that sounds like we aren't talking about moose. I like Mamma, Daddy and babies better :) We set up camp, ate dinner, then Kelly was nice enough to make everyone a smore. (as you can tell, they were very good!) Then we just kind of hung out by the fire trying to keep warm. As you can see we had chili for dinner, which probably wasn't such a great idea knowing we were all going to be sleeping in the same tent with 3 boys! All I can say is there were a lot of noises going on and they weren't animals.

The next morning we got up, cleaned up camp and drove to "No Worries Cafe" for breakfast. Then we all went home and did our own thing. That night Ryan went to an "Ultimate Fight Night" (is what he likes to call it) with our friends while I went to the movie "1408" with Ryan's mom, Cathie. So, as you may have noticed, Sunday started out with pretty good weather and it just kept getting colder and colder. Well, we drove back to Logan Sunday night and driving to work this morning, there was snow in Logan canyon :( I tried to take a picture of it but it didn't turn out very well. That's one thing Ryan and I are going to have to get used to living up here is the snow. So Ryan and I are at work in my turtlneck, his sweater, and our boots with the heat on. Hopefully it's not this chilly for anyone else. All I can say is enjoy the warmth while you can. At least we got in one more camping trip before winter!
