Labor Day at Flaming Gorge

I often forget to take my camera around with me when we meet up with our family. We are so busy doing fun things I completely forget until we're off having fun and my camera is quietly sitting alone somewhere. Well, this trip to Flaming Gorge was no exception. My camera did not make it to the boat parade or fireworks show, the rafting trip or on bike ride. No, it sat alone once again, at camp, while we were out playing.
After driving for six hours, we arrived late in the evening and set up camp using our flashlights. We camped with Rick's parents and two of his sister's families. The kids were happy to see their cousins and grandparents and played like crazy people. The next couple of days were spent river rafting, riding the boats out on the Gorge, playing in the water, eating, fishing and going to bed late.

After days of playing, we packed up and headed home for some R&R. Ha. ha. Addison was quite the little helper as we packed. She helped take the tent down, put the stakes in the bag and carry things to the truck. What a QT. It was a long drive home and luckily the kids passed out in the car and slept a good hour or two. We were all tired, but couldn't have thought of a funner way to spend Labor Day weekend then on a lake, camping with our family!
