last week was a pretty busy one...the day after logan's birthday, we left for boulder mountain with his dad, sister, and half sister. admittedly, i was a little bit nervous, because the most "camping" that i've really done has either been in a cabin at girl's camp, or in a tent in my back yard growing up. and, let's be honest, neither option is exactly roughing it...so we took off, with trailer and dogs in tow, for southern utah...logan's whole family goes down to camp in the same spot every memorial day weekend...it's a beautiful spot up in the mountains in a clearing with pine trees surrounding it...the first night was FREEZING. i'm talking snowflake cold, people..but having a trailer was nice, and we made dinner and went to bed early..the next day was a little windy, but driving down the mountain for about a half hour to the lake brought both warmer weather, and some great places for hiking...
when we got back, there was a huge bonfire going, so freezing cold was no problem...we spent a lot of time hiking, logan took me shooting (probably against his better judgement)...let's just say i'm no annie oakley..i did somehow manage to shoot down a baby tree...
he's definitely a lot better than i am....even with a scope, i struggle to hit the broad side of ANYTHING. this was the tree that we were shooting at...we both had 10 bullets, and i'm guessing there's probably only 11 bullet holes..
we also went on a few dirtbike rides..logan's either a very brave soul, or completely insane, because he let me actually drive his dirtbike...it's been about five years since i drove one, so let's just say popping a wheelie in the first 30 seconds after giving it too much gas didn't exactly inspire confidence in my driving abilities...i pulled it together though and did better...
and now i'm bent on owning one of these...i've always wanted a bullet bike, but i think this is slightly more realistic...
and, of course, the best part of camping is the campfire dinners/smore's...and logan's family does campfires in STYLE.
we had just enough time before we left for one more hike, and...fishing, of course...i managed to catch a fish, even though all i did was reel it in (logan's dad cast and set up the pole for me)..i'm a hopeless outdoors person, despite my love of it..
and, of course, before we left, we HAD to carve our names in a tree (bucket list, check!)..he did this more to humor me, i'm sure...he's such a good sport.
