James, Clara, and I (along with parts of both of our families) celebrated the freedoms of our country by basking in the natural beauty of the "purple mountains majesty!" The mountains didn't look purple to us, however, because we were in the High Uintah mountains. To me, peaks look purple only from a distance. The drive was gorgeous (Clara slept the entire way up!!!); Mirror Lake, our destination. We enjoyed relaxing, talking, walking around the lake, observing the beauty of the sky, trees, rocks, and water, and eating a picnic lunch on the shores of the majestic Mirror Lake. Clara has been drawn to the outdoors from the very beginning, so let's just say, she was a TROOPER outside all day in nature! The day was topped off with stopping by the Mountaire cabin for a steak BBQ with Mom and Richard. Aunt Julie and Uncle Armond showed up, which was a special treat since they just arrived home from their three year mission in Norway! It was so great to chat with them!
"Don't mess with the U.S."
"I'm Proud to be an American!"
Mountaire Cabin!
Everyone taking their afternoon ciesta. On the far left, it's not just a pile of towels, shoes, and a hat, it's Mama Johnson:)
She has such serious faces! I love it!
