Today we had the most incredible day at Fish Lake and it was soooo fun to share it with our friends Ammon, Jamie and their four kids. We are also grateful that they were so prepared! I joked that I forgot a dozen things, and they always had the things that we were missing. They also made us a hot yummy burrito breakfast in the morning! While we were eating breakfast, the kids built a teeter totter. Quite ingenious! Eventually someone fell off and cried, but it was fun until then.
After breakfast, we all went boating. Weather was perfect, which was especially nice because we were quite cold at night.
We boated to the shallow water across the lake and put in our anchor right on the edge of all the water plants. Within 15 or 20 minutes, people started catching fish. Then we just kept catching and catching. Each of the 8 kids caught a fish and we were delighted at the success. Everyone had a really great time.
Ammon and Clarissa helped me steer the boat back to shore.
Then we had a picnic and it was so delicious. Lily prepared turkey sandwiches on french baguette bread and they were to die for. Then we all hiked on the Doctor Creek Trail, and it was gorgeous. It was a wonderfully immersive aspen experience.
On the trail, we found a treehouse someone had built. We allowed the kids to climb with supervision and that was fun.
Back at camp, I cooked Lily’s tin foil dinners, and they were heavenly. For desert we had banana boats and s’mores and those were also amazing.
Today was so full of fun activities and Jamie, Ammon and their kids were a constant delight to be around. Yay for friends and camping!
