Girls Gamp Out

So this weekend a few girls and I went up and camped at Diamond Fork Hot Springs. We got up there Friday after work and enjoyed some great tin-foil dinners! After dinner I tested a new cake recipe but due to the dutch-oven not cooling down, it didn't turn out exactly how it was suppose to, but it was still delicious! 

After dinner we decided to go on a midnight hike up a trail head a few minutes from our camp site. The great thing about this place is it is very dog friendly. Holly and Tabitha brought their dogs and they were a great addition to your trip. Holly's dog Goose is still a puppy and learning new things every day. That night Goose learned not to run ahead of the flash light in the dark. Unfortunatly that lesson came the hard way. As we were walking we heard the sound of something slidding then a few loud thumps. As we were all freaking out as there was no noise following the thumps, Holly just about learned the same lesson as Goose. Luckly Holly stopped before she went off the cliff Goose so kindly found for us. We think Goose got the air knocked out of him as he didn't move for about 30 seconds after his fall. Thank goodness he is a very durable dog and did not injure himself in his fall.  It was probably a good thing it was dark and we couldn't exactly see how far Goose fell, but he was fine and didn't seem fazed by the fall. 

We had a safe nights 'rest' with the dogs making sure no intruders came within a 20 feet radius of our tent.  Unfortunatly that equals barking at any unfamilar noises, but we all knew we were safe. We also had the wonderful opturnitily to wake up bright and early to the sound of a heard of cows mooing. What they were mooing at we don't know but they sure can be loud. 

After a breakfast of simores, roasted Starburst, stuffed french toast, and a wonderful egg and potato cassarole we headed up to the hot springs. Sadly some of the girls had to get home early so the 4 of us went on to the hike. It was about 2.5 miles up and the hike was just BEAUTIFUL!!!! 

Below are some pictures of everyone in the tent and the hike. I would recommend this hike to anyone and their family! So fun and could be easily done as a day trip.

Until Next Time...
