We've been wanting to take our kids camping for quite some time, but we never got around to it. We decided that we would plan a camping trip this summer and we ended up planning a trip together with a wedding of one of Chris's school friends. The wedding was 3 hours away, so we found a campground near the wedding and took our first family camping trip! I'm sure that camping at a campground sounds silly to all you Arizonans, but that's just how people camp here. We ended up staying at Pioneer Campground and we loved it. We had a beautiful site and it was quiet and beautiful.
Matthew and Aaron were SO excited. Our car was packed to the brim!
I loved watching Chris teach them how to make a fire and how to do things outdoors. We are raising a couple of city boys right now and we don't have much choice in the matter. It's nice to be able to get them outdoors every once in a while!
We got this tent for our wedding but have rarely ever used it. It was so nice to pull it out and have a really nice tent to use on our camping trip!
We had dinner, roasted marshmallows, drank root beer, and really enjoyed sitting by the fire on our first night there! Matthew had surgery a few days before, so we took it easy. He didn't want to because it didn't hurt, but we were still careful not to do too much.
