Camping With Friends

Posted by Daisy at Thursday, June 28, 2012

We went camping on June 22-24 with some of our friends ( 9 families). We had a lot of fun and everybody had a good time.

 The boys loved the Hammock.















On Saturday (June 23) we went to see the Golden Spike National Historic Site and Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. The kids had a lot of fun visiting these places especially the Golden Spike.

Golden Spike National Historic Site

May 10, 1869 the Union and Central Pacific Railroads joined their rails at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory and forged the destiny of a nation. Golden Spike National Historic Site shares the stories of the people and settings that define the completion of the first Transcontinental Railroad. 


 












  Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge

Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge (MBR) lies in northern Utah, where the Bear River flows into the northeast arm of the Great Salt Lake.  The Refuge protects the marshes found at the mouth of the Bear River; these marshes are the largest freshwater component of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem.  Since these marshes are in turn surrounded by arid desert lands, it is little wonder that they have always been an oasis for waterfowl!
