Camping & Fishing the American Way

This is a long time coming, but here it is! Team Svedin's 2 July 4th Weekend. ( I don't know if the 1st one in 2007 counts as a "Team Svedin" event, but we did go fishing. We'll count it.) 2009 was every eventful. We strapped the canoe to the top of the car and drove down to Utah to go camping in the Uinta's.

We camped in the rain. That was an adventure!! We fished, in some beautiful lakes during some even more beautiful sunrises. That was an adventure too. We fly fished in some streams. I caught a little brook trout. That made me feel like a pro. (Beginner's luck.)

Here's my catch of the morning on Trial Lake

Here's my amazing husband cooking up that fish for breakfast. (I'd never had fish for breakfast before.)

Here's my sister-in-law digging a trench around the picnic table so we wouldn't get so muddy as we ate.

Here's a picture of the canoe falling off my car. It was on there really well, but then we loosened it to get into the trunk. Don't worry though. No damage was done to canoe or car.

After camping a night in the rain, we decided to pack it up and camp at Grandma's house. We hung out with the other Utah Svedins and Grandma Jackson and had a blast all weekend. On the way home, we stopped by my uncle's house to say hi. He walked us out to our car and said, "Is that a car under that canoe?" We thought that was pretty funny. The canoe is a little longer than the car, but Svedins are pro's at strapping things to the top of cars! It's always an adventure when you go camping with Team Svedin.
