..camping

So James and I decided to go camping for our anniversary. And we had a blast. It didn't start off very good though. We first went up AF Canyon since we heard there was a LDS owned camping site that it didn't matter if you had a reservation or not.... well you do. We got there around noon so we were the only ones there. Just as we got our tent set up and one of the sleeping bags out, a man came and asked us what ward we were from, so we told him, and he said, well, you're in the wrong spot, you're going to have to leave, we have 12 wards here tonight. Yeah, very sad. So we drove up the Canyon a ways to see if we could find a different spot, but everything was full. Floyd had told us about a spot down past Eureka, so we decided to try it out. It was an hour drive down there, then we got lost and had to call Floyd a couple of times to get the directions again. Finally we still didn't find "his" spot so we just pulled off the little road where we found a fire pit. It ended up being a really nice spot, reminded me of Arizona camping. Minus all the cow poo and flys it would've been ideal. But it was still really fun, the kids had so much fun. And they went to bed SO good, which I was really worried about. We forgot pillows so James and I didn't sleep as well as the kids, we decided for the next camping trip, we are definitely investing in a air mattress.

I don't think Dave will ever go camping. He doesn't see the point. And I think I will wait until Austin is older. Looks like you had fun though!
