Labor Day Weekend Camping At Henry's Lake State Park

We decided to take a family camping trip to Henry's Lake, which is about 15 minutes away from West Yellowstone. We realized that this was the first time in five years that we have taken a family trip, with just us. We have taken several trips since we have been married, but we have always traveled with someone else or gone to visit family. We love traveling with our loved ones, but it was nice to have just the five of us. Darin went camping at Henry's Lake as a child and it brought back a lot of memories for him. Darin & Abigail outside our pop up tent trailer.
Abigail loved to dig in the rocks with our kitchen utensils.
When we were down by the lake we saw this thing on top of the mountain. It looked like a space ship from where we were. Curiosity got the best of Darin and we drove 12 miles up the mountain to look at this FAA tower. Abigail was convinced that martians lived in the great big ball and she kept looking for them the whole time we were up there.
I was the first one to spot Aliens on top of the mountain. There were three of them.
Henry's Lake is a beautiful campground, but we quickly discovered that there was nothing to do, but go boating and since we didn't have a boat, we had to figure out something to entertain Abigail (a person can only play Go Fish so many times). We went to West Yellowstone one day and found a nice playground. Abigail had a blast.

Side Note: Some of you may be wondering why I am not in any of the pictures, well, I will tell you: I love camping, but I do not love pictures of me camping, so I made sure that I was the designated photographer this camping trip. Also, some of you may be wondering how it was to take 3 kids under the age of 4 camping. Let me just say, the first day was a disaster and it got much better from there aside from the storm that we were in on the second night. I would definitely do it again (maybe next Memorial Day) we had some great bonding time, especially with Abigail.
