Morgan Family Reunion- Stanley Lake

Welcome to Stanley Lake! The beautiful campground we stayed at for a week with Brad's family.

Unfortunately, this was the only clear day we had there due to forest fires in the area.

Most of the time we had a lovely ashy haze tinting our view.

Before we made it to the campgrounds, we made a stop for a cousin's wedding and got to spend some time with Afton's Great-Grandma Tanner.

Four Generations!

Back to the camping! We had a fun week of camping, despite the extreme weather (90's in the day 30's at night). Our little family got to explore the joys of co-sleeping due to the cold nights. I am suprised we slept as well as we did. :) But while things were slightly uncomfortable, we had a very fun time hanging out with family.

While we were camping Afton played in the dirt. A lot. 

Which is what I expected :)

There was also lots of fishing done by all. 

Richard fished for the first time in his life on this trip and caught a fish on his first cast! 

(I know Brad and I aren't pictured, but we did catch fish!)

One of Afton's favorite activites was going down by the lake to throw in rocks and sticks and look for "foffs" AKA frogs. She even touched the frogs! 

Something unique that Brad's family likes to do is go gold panning. We didn't get to do too much of that this trip, but it was fun to go out once.

It wouldn't be a proper trip with Afton if it didn't involve some sort of injury. About halfway through the week Afton decided to run full force out of Nana and Papa's trailer (about 2 feet off the ground), fortunately missed the metal step and scraped her face up on their green turf mat. We of course, were concerned about another head trauma, especially since she fell asleep within 5 minutes. We quickly gave her a priesthood blessing and took her to the little clinic in the town of Stanley. Lucky for us, all she got out of the experience was a nice rug burn on her cheek that was gone by the next week! (but that didn't stop me from bawling my eyes out with worry). 

Afton's cute cousin Blake! He really was a happy camper.

Blake chillin with his Uncle Richard.

Kim definitely wins the favorite Aunt award. Afton loved playing and reading books with her!

Our afternoon spent at Red Fish Lake, they have a semi beach there.

And you can't have a Morgan gathering without eating some ice cream!

Afton loved sitting on Nana's shoulders.

Did I mention Allison and I were about 7 months pregnant on this trip? Because we were.

Were we uncomfortable? yes. Did we complain? not much.

We are just cool like that.

And my favorite shot of the trip. 

Thanks for the fun week Morgan's! See you at next year's reunion!
