Camping

You know when you just have to get away, when you need a break from everything?  You know when you want your family all to yourself?  You know when you just have to get AWAY?!?

Well that was me, SO we loaded up the tent, a few camping things and headed to the mountains.  It was exactly what we needed!

We climbed a lot of rocks.  Some climbed quite a bit higher than others.  This picture doesn’t even do justice to how high the boys really were.

    The kids LOVE foil dinners.  We fill them with seasonings, BBQ sauce, and a bit of water.I don’t know if it’s because we are starving or what, but they are delicious EVERY time!

 

The kids were sad that we didn’t bring tubes.  We’ve already decided to go back again this summer because it’s so close to us.  We’ve marked what tent site we want and WON’T forget the tubes!

   We found treasures.  These are “American Girl Doll pinecones”.  :)  

Nathan roasted a cool hollow marshmallow that had a heart at the end. 

 

Some pretended they were pirates on the sea….

 

Others were ninjas that could sneak up rocks…

  

Rebecca made a cute friend named “Rockella”

 

We brought our summer read aloud book with us.  We are reading “Hatchet”.  Stephen read for a bit and Rebecca read an extra chapter for us.

We found a branch off of a Bristlecone Pine tree.  Kaylee did a little rendition of “I Whip my Tail back and forth…”

 

A fun cave     And the one and only picture of me from the trip, compliments of Kaylee.  :)  I told Stephen that next time we should do a camping trip getaway without the kids, and then we could literally get away from EVERYTHING!
