Platt Family Reunion

Every year we go up to the Uinta's with the family for a reunion. It is always a fun time. Lots of playing in the water, games, hiking, good food, and just relaxing!

Here are me and Josh making dinner the first night.

Dad bought a zip line. We did this last year too, but this year we had a real zip line! It was a lot of fun for the kids, and I SWEAR there isn't a video of me falling in the river from being too heavy for the zip line! I SWEAR! However there is a video of the girls going across at the end of this post. :) They were actually brave enough to do it this year!

On Saturday we went on a hike up to Ruth Lake. It was SO pretty, and made me want to hike more! I used to hike a lot, and since having kids haven't been able to as much. I can't wait until they are older and can do overnighters with us!

At Ruth lake we ate lunch, played in the water a little, and fished.

Our Family at Ruth Lake...
Yes I know I should have worn orange! That was totally a fluke. The next day they "accidentally" all wore red and I didn't have a red shirt. Oh well.

FUN TIME!

Also, if you notice across the river there is a mountain. It's not THAT big of a mountain, and you can only see the edges of it, but there are cliffs and it's really tall and steep. Well I decided I wanted to climb it. I asked Josh, and my brothers, and my dad how long they thought it would take me. They said a day and a half, and that's if I was in really good shape. I said, "Whatever! I could climb that thing in 5 hours." They assured me that I couldn't. So the next day on a whim, I decided to just go see how steep it was. So I zip lined across the river like Indiana Jones, (ok, I totally fell in the water and biffed it on the other side) and then went over to the mountain and climbed it. It was pretty steep, but I just kept going. I was really worried that I would run into a bear or a mountain lion, but I only saw an owl, and I heard what sounded like thousands of bees, so I steered around them. In about a half an hour I had made it about 2/3 the way up the mountain. I got to the rocky parts that would have been hard to climb. I would have kept going if I had water, but I turned back. I was back to camp in 1 hour, and no one believed me that I got so far up the mountain! So I just have to say for the record that I am awesome! Next year I might plan a few hours to climb the whole thing. :)
