Ruth Lake

This last weekend we took a quick trip to Ruth Lake. I was supposed to be going with the young women from my ward, but as it turned out they all had other things to do. So I made my family go with me instead. We also got the chance to go with the Jackson family. It was BEAUTIFUL.


It is always so amazing that we have places like this to go to that are so close.
The kids were very proud that they got their tent up first--and actually before Ryan got up our tent Alec had to come lend some assistance.

We just had a very relaxing time sitting by a little fire, hearing BEAR stories, reading Thomas Payne (Alec) and Eragon (Regan), going for a hike in the morning, and playing UNO (Austin).







I wish we could spend every weekend this way! That last pic I had to put in because Regan adores this little Jackson boy (she took a ton of pics of him).

Wow! What a beautiful place! I want to go there! Could you hike on Wed? I could go after 1:00 on Mon. Call me, we'll figure it out. I have to admit I'm so sore this week I just really want to climb into bed and not come out...
