Doesn't get much better...

Over the weekend Ty and I went up to Jordanelle Reservoir to do some fishing and relaxing, and that's just what we did. We got up there about 4 and set up our chairs right by the lake, I of course just relaxed and read while Tyler fished. Even though he didn't catch anything I could tell he still had a lot of fun getting out and doing it, and I had fun getting out too! It was perfect weather as well, it was overcast and made it a lot cooler for us up there! When Ty was fed up with not catching anything we found a camping spot with a fire pit to cook the Hobo Dinners we made...they are one of my favorite things about camping. If you have never tried them, I suggest you do!!
While we were cooking the dinners on the fire, we noticed how amazing the sun set was. It has been so pretty lately with all the reds and oranges, probably from all the fires.


So by the time we were done cooking our dinner it was a little after 9 and pretty much dark out. And of course I don't have a working flash light in my car and we didn't think to bring one, or a lantern, so we got to eat in the dark! It was fun though because we just sat and talked and laughed a lot. But then all of a sudden we both heard this loud stomping coming from the bushes, to look up and see a deer up on this little hill about 10 or 15 feet away from us, it scared up both pretty bad! She of course freaked out and ran, but later returned right by us again and Tyler was able to snatch a picture of her...



I was just shocked at how close she was to all the campers, and I was really scared that someone might hit her with their car.

Then on the way home we decided to take Parleys Canyon, so we could get a straight shot at the freeway. Bad bad idea, we had no idea they were doing construction and has it going from 3 lanes down to 1. So we were stuck in the canyon for about an hour and a half, and didn't get home till like 12:30. But it was all worth it was all fun and worth it!

That's a good idea. It's like camping but you don't miss out on your entire weekend. Sounds like fun!

Tell Ty if he needs me to show him how to catch a fish, I'd be glad to. ;)
