Vacation in Utah–Part 5

After attending church with Paul’s parents on Sunday, we all met together to go to the Uintah's.  Well, actually not all of us were able to go, the sickness that had been plaguing Aaron and I had hit Kate and Sara, so they stayed home together while we went. 

On the drive up we stopped at the Wal-mart in Evanstan, WY to buy a few things and for some bathroom breaks.  It brought back memories of when Paul and I were first engaged and we bought me a temporary engagement ring in Evanston before we met his whole extended family at Bear Lake.  I didn’t want to meet everyone without a ring!

We soon got to the Moore Mountain View cabin in the beautiful Uintah Mountains.  The cabin belongs to Paul’s brother’s wife’s family and we were happy they were willing to share with us!  I think the only complaint anyone had while there was that the mosquitos were abundant.

Once we arrived we quickly began making some dinner and boy did we eat good food!

We went for a walk as a family (at least those that wanted to went),

but mostly we just spent time together having fun and playing games.  That night Matt and his family went home and Grandpa went with them.

The rest of us stayed up late watching a movie, doing some light writing and star gazing.

The next morning we went for another walk and were excited to see two moose out grazing.

That afternoon Andrew and Michelle took the Thomas family out on the four-wheelers.  We had a great time and Paul and I saw two more Moose and a deer.  It was gorgeous.

While out on the 4-wheelers we even took the time to find a geocache.  Paul is really getting into geocaching if you can’t tell!

The rest of the time we were up there we ate and played games

and read, and relaxed.  We had a wonderful time.  Thanks Michelle and your family for sharing your cabin with us while we were in town!
