Lars and I have been wanting to go up camping for a while now and the event with the Party Planning Committee that I got really burned at wasn't exactly what we were looking for, so we drove near a city in Utah called Kamas and entered the national forest to do some fun stuff.
It was a little bit of a process, but in the end, it worked out quite well. We didn't know how many people were going to come until the day of, but we had plenty of food (in fact, we bought extra in Kamas and didn't touch it) and then made the drive. Our campsite that we wanted to go to was already reserved out and we were too late to make reservations for the others (5 days advance notice? What?) so we drove up in anticipation that we'd find one. We did. It was slightly hilly, but honestly, who cares, right?
A tinfoil dinner ("hobo dinner"), some hot chocolate, cobbler, and some guitar playing later and we headed off to bed. KB and the girls in one tent (Yes, she has a nickname on the blog now) and the boys in two smaller ones.
Breakfast in the morning was simple. We were going for simple cleanup so muffins won. We didn't even touch the bagels. We drove up to Mirror Lake (where we wanted to camp, but it was full) and walked around the lake. It was fun. There was a group with 3 iggies (Italian Greyhounds). Then it was heading home (with a stop at Dick's Cafe in Kamas) to meet KB's family. So I should explain that KB is somewhat obsessed with two things: Sprite and Benihanas. We met three sisters, a brother and each of the spouses. 10 of us, being loud, somewhat ignoring the chef... it was great. I had a great time with them and from what I've heard, they kinda liked me too. Awesome.
The evening ended with a walk around Temple Square. What a perfect evening.
Oh, and one more picture of KB and I. You know, for good measure.
