Camping with the Girls

This weekend we made a short trip to Valley of Fire and went camping with our ward. It is much different than the camping I grew up with. It still is great to be out of the city. Jenna was totally fascinated by the starts, the dirt and her freedom. It was a short trip because Scott needed to be home to study but it was nice to be away.

Here is the tent village we were in for the night. Our tent is up a ways, but I was quite impressed by the spot Scott found in the dark!

In the morning Eliza was ready to play. She was very cute all morning. She and Jenna had fun building a dirt pile. To ensure people wouldn't step on it she even built a fence for it. Of course, she couldn't play in the dirt that was out of the way, we had to play right next to the kitchen!Scott took the girls up the rocks a little. They were having so much fun it was hard to get them down. Our camping trip would not be complete if we missed the spider! This is our second time out to Valley of Fire and the second time we have seen one of these.

Quite the little joy. Doesn't look to impressive? Well, the fact that we can drive down the road at 45mph and see it is impressive enough for me. Eliza did okay with the whole thing until dad tried to get it to move.It was a good time! Eliza loved the roasted hot dogs and marshmallows. Apparently she was also roasting her goldfish over the fire. I guess it just made them perfect.
