As you can see we truly camp. No luxuries, just a tent and a camp fire. This year we did have a grill :) This first picture is a view of our campsite from the boys tent. This year they had there very own, brand new tent. They loved it. I thought it was too far away. This next picture is one I took while I was standing in the stream by our camp site. It gives great perspective on just how close to the water we were. The stream was filled with crawfish and rainbow trout. We spent hours everyday fishing with homemade fishing poles that Chad made.
This picture of our family was taken after we had been hiking for approximately 40 minutes on our way to a waterfall we were told about. We spotted this abandoned mine opening across the stream and thought it would make a great picture.Here are just a couple of the numerous great pictures I got of my boys this weekend. I love memories like this. They love being outside. They don't even fight...
Here is a picture of the waterfall and swimming hole that we hiked to. It was a bit further than we anticipated with a 2 year old and a 4 year old in tow (our friends kids), but everyone did great and it was worth it.
The road that leads in and out of this particular camp site was a little rough. It was not emphasized enough to me ahead of time just how rough it was. We really should have had 4 wheel drive. We had to move some fallen trees along the way. I tried to snap some pictures as we were driving out of our friends truck in front of ours hoping that it would help give perspective, but these don't really do it justice.One of the best parts about this trip was seeing my kids get truly exhausted and then enjoying the silence all the way back to Phoenix. Here is a picture of them crashed out in the back seat.
