We had a busy, but very fun weekend. Friday night Ian, Miles, and I went up to the Uinta Mountains for an overnight campout. It was our ward's annual father and sons outing. There was a cabin, but we brought our tent and sleeping bags and roughed it. We brought tinfoil dinners of potatoes and buffalo meat (Miles had tofu-nuggets) and cooked them in the fire pit. There were lots of other kids there and they made marshmallow guns out of PVC pipe. They had great fun waging battle with mini marshmallows and roasted the big ones for s'mores.
We woke up to a beautiful morning in the pines and had a great breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, and Tang. We took a little hike and found a beaver lodge and enjoyed the fresh air and the beautiful wildflowers. The outing was a big hit and everyone had a lot of fun.
In the evening we went to the Utah State Capitol to see the Declaration of Independence. It wasn't the official signed one, but it is actually an older copy. They made 200 originally, but only 24 are still in existence, This one was actually found behind a painting that someone bought for 4 dollars; quite the find. We saw some of Melinda's f riends there, and my cousins Paige and Chris were there, too.
Then we went to a friend's wedding reception. We cut it pretty close, because we were the last ones in line. It was fun because they had an ice cream sundae bar. Perfect for a Saturday night bedtime snack.
