Spring Break Camping


We have been ITCHING to go camping this year.  So for the weekend starting P's Spring Break, we busted outta here.

We drove out to Capitol Reef- which admittedly wasn't quite as beautiful as I had remembered.... largely due to the fact we were visiting end of March vs. Mid July on the rainiest day of the year like last time. :P

Still, it was beautiful, and we loved it.

 We chose a "walk up" campsite- which meant our area was huge. perfect for little kiddies to run and play soccer 



 In one of the orchards- We of course, sang Popcorn Popping- and immediately wished for some good popcorn to snack on.
 Anna, Daddy, Chanman. 
 yay! Dirt! :) 
 Anna took a cracker and her blankie, and contently sat next to this tree to chow. 
 During a lunch picnic, the boys climbed waaaay up this mountainous hill- and were super pleased with themselves.
 Meanwhile, Anna happily played in some dirt. 
This picture melts me. These kids are so tender with each other. Love. 

 Climbing around in the slot canyon


We kept bumping into two little boys on a campout with their dad. Anna (in the brown shirt) and unknown little boy (green shirt) apparently didn't mind too much. :)

And a great big shout out to this scenic view- He was amazing. While I was playing with kiddos, he was cooking, cleaning, setting up/taking down.  Best. Guy. Ever.

Anyone up for a group Camping Trip of Awesomeness??
