Hiking, Camping and Swimming, Oh My!

I don't even know where the time has gone! It seems like I was just updating this blog yesterday... 

Jared and I have been so lucky to have such an exciting first summer of marriage together. I feel like even with our busy work schedules, we haven't missed out on any of the joys that summer brings. 

Last weekend we hiked up Sqaw Valley to Five Lakes. 


It was a beautiful trail that lead to the snow covered mountain where Jared was the only one brave enough to go for a swim,


And we returned today from a fabulous camping trip with Jeff and Bethany.


It takes a brave soul to call a summer complete without an old-fashioned camp-out.

That's right, I said 'old fashioned'. I'm not talking about the new form of camping that has struck the nation, with trailers with full hook-ups, satellite TV and a full kitchen. 

I'm talking about tents and sleeping bags, a skillet over hot coals and roasted marshmallows from an open flame. Its what camping used to be- and this weekend we had so much fun with Jeff and Bethany camping in Stampede. If you've never been before I suggest you go. I've camped there before several times when I was younger and I can't imagine it ever getting old.

We couldn't have asked for more perfect weather this weekend.

 Bethany and I enjoyed a hike along a beach trail, while Jared and Jeff took off for some mountain biking.


The only regret I have is that we didn't stay longer!

There will definitely be a next time.
