First Camping Trip!!! (Finally)

James found out he had a vacation day that had to be used and we were feeling bad another summer had past and we still had not taken the boys camping. We planned a spontaneous trip down to Moab where it would be a little warmer. The weather was beautiful and we had a blast. We decided this trip needed to be documented so we went out and got a new camera. We knew the boys would love it, but we were not sure how James and I would do, so we decided for our first time we would just get a campspot at a paid campground in Moab. (Its nice to camp and be 100ft from flushing toilets and warm showers--especially when you are potty training your two year old). The boys did great both nights and with the purchase of earplugs James and I did better on the second night--RV campgrounds are noisy!!!! The first morning We woke up to 3 farts from Mo and him rolling over to ask "Is this our tent?"We spent all day saturday hiking in Arches. The weather was beautiful and the boys are awesome hikers. We probably went about 4 miles by the time the day was done. They loved scaling the walls up to the arches and finding caves to play in.


They even let us take another hike sunday morning before we left Moab. We caught lizards, threw rocks in the stream, and of course found sticks for weapons.

Looks like so much fun. No camping trip is complete with out hiking, lizards, stick weapons and of course farts. The boys are getting so big. We can't wait to see you guys on a regular basis. We miss the Jardines!
