Flaming Gorge

Andy got Memorial day off-I know crazy right, a day off on a Holiday working in retail!-it doesn't happen very often. We decided to take advantage of both Andy and Maddie being home and we headed to Flaming Gorge-about an hour from our house. It was a fabulous day! We all had so much fun. We went on trails (Maddie's favorite part), threw rocks in the water, fished, had a picnic, and just enjoyed being outside in a beautiful place all day long. The rain didn't start till about the time we were leaving, so it worked out nicely. We spent most of our time at Browne Lake-very picturesque!

Some of the places were high up, rocky, or very close to water. So with my fearless little girl running around, you would have heard a lot of me hollering out to her. If I let her, that girl would get as close to the edge as possible, or run and jump as fast as she could!

throwing rocks-

Maddie liked to find the biggest rocks possible to throw in-

Garen fishing-

Sophie even got in on some of the fishing action-

After Maddie crossed the log, I almost fell in trying to cross-

Our little rock climbing hiker; she always had to be in front leading the way-

I love this picture because it shows how many bugs there were. The camera focused on all those bugs instead of Maddie-

Happy little fisher girl-

picnic time-

Sophie was pretty good considering we were dragging her around everywhere with the sun in her eye, or the wind blowing in her face, or bugs flying around.-

Andy was skipping rocks in the water and Maddie wanted to try. Her aim was off and she ended up throwing her rock at Garen's head. Then Garen looks up in the tree wondering what hit him. Excuse my loud laughs, it was pretty funny!-
