Last week we went on a camping trip with three other families. We went up to Payson Lakes and it was beautiful there. We had 24 people in our group. We took turns cooking which I thought worked out very nicely. The kids got along pretty well and we all enjoyed the time away from our regular every day life.
Some of the kids had floaties for the water, but S found this log to use instead!
M, J, and Morgan hanging out, relaxing in the hammock.
T fell on our hike and got a few war wounds.
J and Lena hiking up to the waterfall.
The kids all piled into the back of the truck to go down to the lake.
J and her friends playing in the lake.
This might have been one of the highlights of the trip. The first evening we built our fire and noticed that there wasn't really a ton of sitting room around the campfire. So, the men decided to build a deck. Yep, that's right a deck. They busted out some wood that we brought, tools, even a chain saw, and went to work. It turned out surprisingly nice considering what we were working with, and we had a little extra seating.
We hiked up to this waterfall and it was FREEZING! The kids ran in and stood under the waterfall just long enough for me to get their picture.
Hanging out in a little cave.
We had a wonderful time camping. I really love to camp and I think everyone really enjoyed themselves. I wasn't ready to come home, except for the fact that I really needed a shower. We hope to make this a yearly tradition!
