Family Traditions?

Does your family have traditions that they follow every year?  I'm not too sure that my family really has any traditions besides making sure you call on someone's birthday (Of course, they will probably read this and I'll get in trouble for forgetting some).  However, if not tradition, there is definitely one place that my family visits often and enjoys.  That is visiting the lakes above Beaver, UT.

It seems that we have visited these lakes numerous times but the view is incredible and it is always fun

This time we went to visit with my parents, my sister and her kids and my kids and myself.  When we arrived it was packed which seemed strange to me as it was a Monday.  Don't these people have something else to do?  Luckily for us we were able to stay in the handicap campsite as no one was using it.

I thought that we'd do some camping and fishing but what it turned out to be was some camping and the kids did some fishing.  My Dad and I spent most of our time fixing rods and reels!  You would not believe the knots that the kids made with their fishing lines!  Let's just say that we went through a lot of fishing line.  However, the best thing about the place we were staying was that it's always a guarantee for the kids to catch fish and this time was not any different.  We had a great time catching the fish.

The good thing about camping, besides the smores, is at the end of the day the kids are tired and easily put to bed . . .

With all great journeys there are some casualties . . .

But we did take a fun hike with the kids . . .

And friendships were once again confirmed . . .

Perhaps some vision was even gained . . .

And without fail, the last thing we do is get ice cream before we leave!
