September 6 - Camping

We wanted to get in another camping trip, cause we are just not sure if we will make it out again before the weather gets bad. We went up to Temple Peak again. It is becoming one of our favorite places to go. We thought we would be fighting campers again and weren't sure what kind of a spot would be left going up later in the day on Friday. When we go up there, there was only one other camper and a sheep herder camper. It was so nice and quiet. I guess it really is true that people stop camping after labor day. Not us. We go til the weather gets too cold. 

I cooked baked potatoes with leftover sweet pork for dinner. It was really yummy. After a little fire, we were all getting tired and it was starting to get a little chilly and raining a bit, so we went in the trailer and played a couple games Farkle. The kids really love that game and it is a great trailer game. 

We all went for a hike up the hill to try and find grouse. We spooked one, but it was in such thick trees that we didn't see it and Eric didn't get a shot. He was very upset. It was the only grouse we saw and he was bound and determined to shoot one. He had a gone a couple of days ago with his friend Brett and they didn't see a one all day. 

Sallie, Jerry & friend, Ben came up Saturday afternoon. They brought a couple of guns and shot at an old tv and some targets. They had a great time. Jerry has been wanting to shoot his guns for a long time, but Sallie told him he had to shoot them with Eric around. 

We cooked ribs for dinner. They took a while to cook, but finally when they were done, they were yummy. Well worth the wait. After dinner, which was about 8:00, Sallie and the boys left to go home. We played another game of Farkle and then went to bed. 

It rained during the night and was raining Sunday morning when we work up. It took us a little bit to get packed up and then we headed home. We got home around noon on Sunday and then unpacked and did laundry. We had a great weekend.
