Island Lake 2012

happiness is:

taking fridays off of work
crystal clear lakes
camping
cliff Jumping/swimming
trying roasted marshmallow with banana
building your own fire pit (props to Elliott)
campfire conversations (i feel that any time you have a fire with friends you walk away better friends. There's something about it that makes you open up... and in some people's case become extra funny).
uinta mountains
star gazing and accidentally catching the Perseid meteor shower (we saw a shooting star that will probably go down in history, and saw 12 shooting stars in just an hour).
sleeping in a tent during thunderstorms

Spending 3 days with good friends

Obviously, we went backpacking this weekend and it couldn't have been any better. We hit up Island Lake in the Uinta Mountains with two of our best friends. There was a lot of hiking, cooking, swimming, and laughing.

We saw so many dogs along the way and decided next time we do this, we were going to foster a dog from the pound for a few days since none of us are ready for the commitment of actually owning one.

I'm wondering why we didn't do this until August. Where has the summer gone?

More pictures to come.
