Camping

We have done some camping so far this summer.  Our good friends, Steph and Paul (Steph is the one that introduced Brian and me) posted a message on Facebook that they were going to Moab over Memorial Day weekend so we invited ourselves and we went with them.  We don't tent camp very often, so we were grateful they let us tag along and show us the ropes (like how to make tinfoil dinners!)  We go camping with my parents a lot, but we are lucky enough to use their bathroom and kitchen in their trailer, so this type of camping, was really "roughing it" for us! Here are a few pics:

We went to Arches National Park, one day and it was really cool.  I'd love to go back and hike some more. 

 We also checked out Dead Horse Point which was an interesting place.    The story is that "cowboys" would bring horses up to this point that was surrounded by cliffs and close off the small entrance so that they couldn't escape.  The "cowboys" would pick a few horses they wanted then would leave the rest on this point to die.  It was such a sad story!  I doubt they were cowboys, I like to believe they were outlaws.  :)    The site was amazing, it was like looking over the Grand Canyon.  The kids loved investigating and climbing around.

Last Saturday, we went to Ogden and had a camp fire with Cammie and Lanny and kids (Kaitlin's BFF).  Cammie and her family have become really good friends of ours.  We love spending time with them.  They were camping and invited us to come up to have a camp fire.  It was quite chilly - Jackson is below all covered up! :)
