Warm Lake Camping Trip

After looking over our summer and realizing there was not many free weekends, we decided to at least try and go camping in our trailer once a month.  For our June trip we went to Warm Lake which is about 25 miles from Cascade.  It was really pretty. 
Joel got home from working in Utah all week, and we loaded the trailer and left by 3pm.  It took us about 2 hours to get there.  Once we arrived we realized we should have stayed at shoreline campground instead of Warm Lake, but oh well.  It was still pretty and nice to be in the mountains. 
We enjoyed being together, but missed Coelton who stayed home to work.  We made friends with "Theodore" a fat chimpmunk who ate food out of our hands. 
We went on 2 hikes.  One around the lake and another one on a nature trail.  The kids loved climbing the big rocks that were around. 
We played scum and solitair frenzy while we made cookies in the oven.  That night we wathed Signs on my lap top.
Sunday morning was Father's Day, so Joel got breakfast in bed.  We loaded the trailer after breakfast and headed home to catch a 1:00 sacrament meeting.  On the drive home I was thinking about having to drive the trailer by myself to Burly for Joel's family reunion.  He will be in England.  I said to him, "what do I do if I get a flat tire".  Then I heard a loud noise and looked in the mirror to see black rubber flying everywhere.  There was a pull out right there and we found that we blew a tire...literally the tire blew up, cause there wasn't much left of it.  It also did some damage to the trailer, we can't win.   Joel saved the day and had the tire changed in no time. So much for 1:00 sacrament meeting and a Happy Father's Day.
