Coleman Reunion Pine Lake

The Coleman Reunion was at Pine Lake Fri.-Sun. We went up and camped all weekend. Austin was already up there because he had scout camp. He couldn't wait for us to get up there and rescue him from scout camp. I think he just wanted his Gameboy?! The first day Mc, Jarrin, and I walked to the lake from our campsite. It was about a mile which wasn't too bad except the kids forgot their sneakers and had to hike in flip-flops. As soon as we got to the lake, Darrin came back from getting water and the kids hitched a ride.



Here is Austin's idea of getting out in the wilderness!





Jarrin loves to camp. He had a ball blowing bubbles, playing in the campfire, and collecting sticks he called his "survival sticks". He also had a survival song to sing!! "The Eye of the Tiger". Mc and I were trying not to laugh!



Jerry and his brothers and sisters that were able to come to the reunion.



On Sunday we took a day trip over the mountain. I wasn't too sure about it. I don't like heights very well and it was very high! We also went across Hell's Backbone, which is a one lane bridge across a huge canyon! It has gotten better though, now it is paved and has guard rails. Last time we went across it was a wooden bridge with no guard rails. Talk about scary!!! The kids loved it! We went down into Salt Gulch and showed the kids the ranch where Grandpa Coleman grew up, and then drove into Boulder for a drink. As we drove towards Escalante we decided to stop and hike to Calf Creek Falls. It was a hot, long, tiring hike but the kids did great! They loved seeing the waterfall at the end. The hardest part was hiking all the way back.
