July 16, 2011 Flaming Gorge

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Since today was the last day, Dan got us up extra early.  There wasn't even time to change out of our pajamas.  Unfortunately, this was the chilliest morning. 
Chloe caught her first Kokannee Salmon:
Seth followed quickly with a Bass:
Dan told Chloe she could get a pocket knife (Thanks Madison, Kyle and Morgan) if she would clean and prepare her fish to take home and eat.  She was very excited, for the pocket knife, and got all of the
ready to go. 
They headed over to the fish cleaning station and she was very excited to do it herself.




She liked that her fish was a girl...
She did it and as soon as she can find the one she wants (something like Madison's, Kyle's or Morgan's) she will get
We pulled out of camp and as we were driving away it was easy to see why Mr. Powell appreciated the
red rock through out the canyon, inspiring the appropriately named Flaming Gorge.  Dan was inspired to reserve a camp site that had showers.  We waited as long as we could and made sure we had enough dollars and quarters for each of us.  It was sadly, silly when we found out that the showers for those camping were free and we could have showered morning, noon and night if we'd wanted.

Driving home through Wyoming the kids associated seeing
with the fireworks stands they had on the sides of the road...

Looks like a fun trip. Oh how much fun we had as kids there jumping off the cliffs. I can't believe Chloe cleaned that fish out all by herself. She deserves more than a pocketknife!
