First Camping Trip 2008


We couldn't wait to go camping! All winter long, the children kept asking "when can we go camping?" or "is it time to go camping yet?" and the answer would always be "We will go camping after Easter AND after the snow has melted!" So, sure enough, the day after we returned from our Easter excursion to Utah, they all thought it was time to go! Apparently they forgot about the second part of "Before we go camping...." because the snow hadn't melted yet!! So we waited for two weeks, and on the first weekend in April, we took the kids camping at Challis Hot Springs. It's an hour's drive down the canyon, and a little more pricey than what we usually pay to go camping, but it was well worth it! It was so awesome! We went with some friends and had a great time chilling, visiting, and swimming together! As soon as we got home, the questions started all over again "When can we go camping again" and "How long before the next time we go camping?" Apparently not soon enough!

Micah, Kimi, Kanyon, Kala, and Ammon enjoying the heated pool. Jonah (not in picture) was sitting on the steps, afraid to come in all the way!

Kanyon after swimming in the warm pool for the first time. He didn't want to take off his swim shorts. He loved to be swimming!

Jonah and Micah playing with sticks and dirt at our campsite by the river.

Josh visiting with Kimi and Kerry next to our trailer and truck.

Ammon spent a lot of time in his cousin Ellie's trailer. He was part of their family for the weekend: he ate with them, played with them, swam with them, slept with them...

Kala and Amy. Kala-the unshowered one and Amy-the newly showered one.

WARNING! This is what unattended Camping Bed Head looks like! EWWW!!!
