For our fall break, Paul wanted to leave the valley and I agreed. We packed the trailer and went to Scofield.
First stop, Einstein bagels for egg and cheese bagel sandwiches.
Since we were passing by, why not 🙂 Post breakfast was at Provo Bakery.
This was my first for their orange rolls. Coconut and orange wrapped around with orange frosting on top! I remember my mother making these for Christmas every year. I’m going to have to go to my parents house this weekend and learn how to make them for Christmas morning.
Paul remembers muffin tops from his Discover Card days. How come I haven’t had one of these? These were so delicious! We arrived at the bakery at 10:30am and we were too late for the cream filled croissants, they were sold out.
Eli loves his headphones he got for his birthday. Singing all the time!
Scofield. As you can see, we missed the leaves. Again. Our plan was to come up camping over conference weekend, but it was Eli’s baptism so we had to push it out.
It was a beautiful weekend!
When we arrived, the campground was closed for the winter so we had to park in the grass next to the campground and pulled into the last spot with electricity. Note for next time: Some hunters were already at the site and hooked up. By Friday the others came rolling in. It was packed!
Paul did all the cooking for 4 days. We started out with stuffed French toast which is always delicious! We forgot the cream so we made a quick blueberry sauce to go on top.
Eli and Paul did a lot of fishing.
While they were fishing, I did some fishing of my own. 🙂 I took a few minutes…er, hours 🙂 and put my island back in order.
A tiger trout. Eli wanted to take him home and cook him up. He asked everyday until Paul finally gave in and said everyone should have an experience with trout. Put grilled salmon next to trout and Eli will gladly throw the trout back 🙂
We stayed up late and went outside to see the meteor shower. What was late? 9:00pm, ha! The full shower peaked at midnight so we only saw one. Orion wasn’t in the sky yet, so seeing one was a real treat.
The next morning I told Paul, rain or shine I’m going running. I got a mile in and started flying paper airplanes instead.
Paul and Eli went out fishing and found a hidden river in a fun valley. Water and boys, I’m not surprised to see pictures of Eli throwing rocks in the river. It was extremely over cast and within the hour it was raining.
Singing in the bathroom. He doesn’t know we can hear him through the door 🙂
Back at camp we played games. Lots of games this weekend.
Went out for many walks.
Eli put together his wish list for Christmas. He informed us that book on the left needs money and the book on the right is free. Free because its Christmas. I love it!
We watched a few movies.
One thing about going camping is I never have to ask Eli to get in bed. He puts himself asleep. Every. Night. 🙂
Sunday morning we woke up to snow.
Buckled up snug for the ride home.
When we get home from trips, I get out the vacuum and clean up the truck. This is what you get when you leave an 8 year old alone with the vacuum 🙂
Time to winterize the trailer and put it away for the year!
