We have taken an annual family camping trip pretty much every year since Sydney has been born. We have missed a few years but not many. We have cheated and gone to a cabin to one year. Anyway we never went at all last summer and the girls have been begging to go so my sister was coming into town in June so we all thought it would be fun to go. Normally we go the end of July, this is the first time we had ever gone in June and now we know why. It was FREEZING and we could not have any fires because it was to dry.
Setting up camp was a breeze. Everything went together nicely. Here is our new tent. It wast he first time we had gotten to use it and it worked out nicely.
Rory's favorite place to take a nap was in Nana's tent. All that fresh air was exhausting!
The big kids had a great time playing in the back of the trailer we borrowed. They thought it was like a big fort. (Thanks Chris and Sherrie it worked out great!) 
All went well the first day the weather was beautiful and everything was great. The night on the other hand was a tad bit FREEZING! No one slept very much and we all woke up the next day ready to go home. Here is everyone sitting around our imaginary campfire since we couldn't have one because it was to dry.

Look at this cute bundled up baby eating her breakfast:)
Nana made us the yummiest breakfast, bacon and eggs. I don't know why it always tastes so much better out in the wilderness.
All the monkeys enjoying Nana's hard work.
After breakfast in warmed up and the kids had lots of fun. Ashton taught the girls to use pocket knives. They widdled the end of some sticks.
They kids all had a blast exploring. We brought home a whole big container full of pine cones.
They even caught a horny toad. It made everyone jump and scream.
After our nice warm morning of exploring and tromping through the woods we packed up camp and left. Jerame's mom happened to be up in Payson and Ron's family's house so we went there for the second night. We took much needed showers and then went and got some ice cream and went to the park.
The kids had a blast at the park. They had never ridden on a tire swing before and the thought it was way fun.
Overall a fun weekend. The kids can;t wait to go back camping. We will try again in the fall when we can have fires. Camping just isn't the same without smores:)
