Moon Lake Getaway





Three years ago Danielle's side of the family started a family tradition that they would get all the families that wanted to together and go on a vaction. The first year we went to Bryce Canyon last year to Moab and this year to Moon Lake in the Uintas.
This is a very large lake about 30 miles north of Duchesne, which is another fun vacation spot of ours with Starvation resevoir. We had a great time camping out with the family. It had been years since we had set up our large family tent and Jeff almost forgot how to set it up, we may have ended up sleeping out under the stars. This was the first time that our three youngest kids have been camping in tents. It was quite the experience!
For whatever reason Mine and Danielle's sleeping bag seemed to be very popular by morning.
For two days we rented 2-man kayaks and took the kids on rides around the lake, they had a blast. We even had a small swamping episode where Austin tried to capsize his uncle Matt and then got it in return when he was out on his own. It was a very fun time to get away and be together as a family. The kids got to see some wildlife up close. Darn those cows, and who said the ground squirrels could eat the dog food.
We had a great time enjoying the world and the company but are glad now to be back home, there is something about vacations that it is great while you are there but it is even better to be back home, especially when it is camping in tents.
