Camping Trip #2

I like the idea of having a family campout at least once a year. So we headed up to Payson for our own quick little overnighter. Perfect timing too. The weather in the valley was record high (100 for October!), so we could get away from the hot and not be too cold in our sleeping bags!

We had a good time. The campsite was clean, organized, and just right, except for the fact that it was RIGHT off the highway. We once again to did come prepared. The tent we borrowed from my dad turned out to be a 2 man, not big enough for the air mattress. So I got to go back and forth between sleeping on the ground in the warm tent, and sleeping on the comfy air mattress under the stars (a little chilly) while listening to a field mouse scurry around all night. Oh well, I usually plan on no sleep on a campout.
We got to camp, set up the tent, then had our dinner from Qdoba (yum) and made s'mores of course. Then we did a little game of flashlight tag and watched for shooting stars (we saw a really cool one).


jumping, of course, is required



Brailyn had a blast. She was SO excited to wake up in the tent, she just couldn't stop talking, even though it was only 6:15 am! We went on a little nature walk, found a spring to play in, and headed home, tired but happy for a fun weekend.
